Alaska Education Grant
Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education
Need-based aid for Alaska students at qualifying in-state postsecondary institutions. Verbatim: "AEG awards range from $500 to $4,000 per academic year."
The catch: It is not first-come in the usual sense but it is prioritised, and the priority order is published: prior-year recipients first, then date of FAFSA submission, then enrolment level. Filing the FAFSA late is therefore not a neutral act - it moves you down a queue for a limited pot. The FAFSA is mandatory, it must be redone every year, and the grant only follows you to a qualifying institution in Alaska.
