Sven & Lorraine Eriksson Alaska Fund

The Sven & Lorraine Eriksson Alaska Fund is a scholarship program administered by the Alaska Community Foundation. It is designed specifically for students who plan to study either engineering or music at the University of Alaska. To qualify, applicants must meet specific academic standards based on their current educational level. High school students applying for the program must hold a GPA of 2.5 or higher, while post-secondary students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

To apply, candidates use the Alaska Community Foundation’s online portal, which utilizes a single application to match students with various scholarship opportunities. While the foundation does not explicitly require the FAFSA for all of its awards, applicants are generally encouraged to complete federal or state financial aid forms to demonstrate financial need if required during the matching process. For current deadlines, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
