GCI awards $140,000 in scholarships for 2018-19 academic year

Seventy Alaska students have each been awarded a $2,000 tuition and book scholarship from GCI for the next academic year. The 2018 GCI Scholarship Program is a $140,000 investment in Alaska’s next generation of leaders.

The GCI Scholarship Program has received over 600 applications this year, with recipients from 33 communities around Alaska.

The program is a revitalization of the long-standing UUI Scholarship Program, which was supported by GCI for 10 years. Over the past decade, GCI has awarded $2.6 million in scholarship funds to hundreds of Alaska students attending accredited colleges and vocational/trade schools.
