The Alaska Association of Environmental Professionals (AAEP) began awarding $1,000 scholarships to support Alaskan scholars in the fields of environmental science, engineering, and environmental policy. Through 2006, AAEP has awarded $24,000 in scholarships since we began these awards in 1995. Our scholarship program has expanded over the years and now includes awards to students attending Alaska Pacific University (APU), University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and/or the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS). Contact us, or the school’s Financial Aid Office, for information on how to apply for the AAEP scholarship this fall.
