Alaska Pacific University offers a scholarship for current/active employees, board members, and dependents of the Alaska Tribal Health System, and a matching scholarship for current/active ANTHC employees who are Alaska Native or American Indian.
Alaska Tribal Health System Scholarship
Employees, board members, and their dependents must complete both processes below:
- Complete the ATHS scholarship application, employment verification authorization form & submit a copy of your Certificate of Indian Blood documentation (if applicable) by the deadlines as set by the Financial Aid Office, dependent on the University Academic Calendar.
Employment Verification Submission Requirement Updates
- Employment verifications are due no later than the Friday before your first class begins. Some examples are below:
