Indigenous Entrepreneur Scholarship from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation

Overview

Johnson Scholarship Foundation Logo

The Johnson Scholarship Foundation was formed in 1991 by Theodore R. Johnson and his wife, Vivian Chesley Macleod Johnson to help future generations obtain an education. Among others, the Foundation continues to fund organizations and communities to benefit Indigenous peoples. The Foundation strives to catalyze economic development by investing in entrepreneurship and business education and investing in capacity building for business and entrepreneurship in Indigenous communities. In 2021, APU became the first organization in Alaska to be awarded funding from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation with the establishment of the Indigenous Entrepreneur Scholarship.

Awarding Criteria

Individuals must self-identify as Alaska Native or American Indian.

Individual JSF Scholarship awards may be up to a maximum of $4,000 per year for a full-time student maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 – 3.4.  Such awards will be pro-rated for part-time students based upon the percent of full-time credit load at that college/university for federal financial aid purposes.

Individual JSF Scholarship awards may be up to a maximum of $6,000 per year for a full-time student maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above and completing 12 semesters or 15 quarter credits in the preceding academic term.   Such awards will be pro-rated for part-time students based upon the percent of full-time credit load at that college/university for federal financial aid purposes.

The size of the award depends on the overall need among students at the university and the availability of funding.
