Rocinante Scholarship

The Juneau Community Foundation administers the Rocinante Scholarship, an annual funding opportunity designed to assist students with their educational expenses. This program is geared toward supporting individuals pursuing higher education, with priority generally given to applicants from Juneau or Southeast Alaska. The scholarship helps cover costs associated with attending an eligible postsecondary institution.

To apply, students must submit their application materials directly to the provider, and applications are due October 1st. Because this is a private scholarship program, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly known as the FAFSA, or their state-level financial aid application. Doing so helps schools determine overall financial need and coordinate the scholarship with other federal, state, or institutional aid. Recipients are typically selected and grants are awarded by December 1st. Prospective applicants can find additional details and access the application forms directly through the Juneau Community Foundation website.
