  • Air Force Aid Society

    Grants ranging from $500 to $4,000 are awarded to eligible Air Force dependents each year. The specific amount awarded correlates to a student’s particular level of financial need.

    A unique feature to this program – each grant awarded carries the name of an individual or organization exemplifying service to the USAF, and that biographical information is sent to each grant recipient.

  • Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS)

    In an effort to increase awareness about Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) eligibility requirements, the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE) encourages Alaska’s schools to review ACPE’s APS website as well as the APS Award Checklist, which outlines current curriculum, test score, and GPA eligibility requirements.

     

    It is also important to remind everyone the APS test waiver is no longer in effect. Earning a qualifying score on the ACT, SAT, or WorkKeys is required by statute for APS eligibility for the Class of 2023.

     

    Additionally, ACPE will be offering APS workshops for interested school staff in March and April to give a review (or introduction!) to the Alaska Performance Scholarship program, its current requirements, and award notification information. An invitation to attend our APS workshops via Zoom will be forthcoming. We hope you can join!

     

    If you have any questions about the APS award or the programs and institutions in Alaska where it can be used, please visit the APS website to learn more.

  • College Covered

    College Decision Day is quickly approaching as acceptance and award letters roll in.  We have integrated some new tools into College Covered to make it easier for students to make an informed choice on where they go to college.

    • Compare Award Letters: The Award Letter is an important factor for many families as they try to figure out which schools they can afford to send their student to. However, they’re not always written in the clearest language. Our Award Letter Comparison Tool, can help students and parents interpret their financial aid packages from up to 5 different schools to help determine which one is best for them.
    • College Decision Day: Some of your students may know which school they want to attend without a doubt, but others may be a bit unsure. Either way, now that they’ve been accepted, making that final choice can be intimidating. That’s why we’ve created this handy quiz to help students decide what's the best fit.
    • Scholarship Sweepstakes Award: It’s not too late to get more money for college. Your students and parents have a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship from Discover Student Loans! The first drawing is April 9, so be sure to have them visit College Covered to enter.
