GCI Awards $46,000 in Scholarships to 23 Alaskan Students

Students from fifteen communities will receive scholarships for the 2020-21 school year

Twenty-three Alaska students from communities across the state will each receive $2,000 for the 2020-21 academic year through the GCI Scholarship Program in partnership with the Alaska Community Foundation. The program was launched more than twenty years ago to help develop and grow Alaska’s next generation of leaders.

Since the program began, GCI has awarded more than $6 million in scholarship funds to hundreds of Alaska students attending accredited colleges and vocational/trade schools across the country.

“Through all of the disruptions and uncertainty Alaska’s students have faced these last few months, staying focused on their post-secondary education goals is more important than ever,” said Dr. Pam Lloyd, VP of GCI Government, Healthcare & Education Corporate Strategy. “We strongly believe that encouraging and enabling Alaska’s young people to pursue advanced educational opportunities is critical for the future of our state, and we hope the GCI Scholarship Program provides these students the assistance they need to achieve their education goals.”
