Our Mission

Empowering Alutiiq people to achieve their potential through education.

Education is essential to our people, our communities, and our economy. KEF offers merit-based scholarships to Koniag Shareholders and registered Descendants. These scholarships are competitive and are scored by an independent scholarship review committee. GPA requirements vary by award and must be met to be considered eligible for award. Applications must be submitted by the posted deadline. Awarded funds are disbursed directly to the university/program, and cannot be applied to accounts in arrears. Award amounts may vary depending on availability of funds.

When you are ready to take your education to the next level, we’re here for you, contact us today!
