Alaska Performance Scholarship

Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education

Alaska's merit-based scholarship for students who complete a specified rigorous high school curriculum and meet a GPA or standardised test threshold. Verbatim: "awarding eligible students up to $28,000 total towards their postsecondary education."

The catch: The qualifying work happens in high school and cannot be made up afterwards - the curriculum requirement is the real gate, and a student who did not take the required courses cannot become eligible later by improving their grades. The $28,000 is a total across years at a per-year rate that depends on award level, not a single payment.
