The Nick Begich Scholarship Intern Fund
The
Nick Begich Scholarship Intern Fund was created in 1977 to carry
on the ideals of the late Congressman Nicholas J. Begich from
Alaska, who came to the state in 1956 as a teacher and believed
that education was both a right and a privilege, one that must
be available to all as a key to self-realization. Since inception,
the Fund has provided over $262,000 in support to exceptional
Alaskans, helping them realize their educational goals. Candidates’ applications
are received in the Fall of each year and reviewed by the Fund’s
Board of directors. Successful applicants are usually announced
in the month of April, coinciding with the late congressman's birthday.
NOTICE: AWARD WINNERS FOR 2009-2010 may be found under the Scholar Tab; NEW SCHOLARSHIP AND INTERN ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE NOW OPEN AND AVAILABLE UNDER THE APPLY TAB. QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO : info@nickbegichfund.org
