The Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) is an invitation to excellence for Alaska’s students, parents, and educators.

To be eligible, students must take a specific, rigorous high school curriculum; earn a minimum 2.5 GPA;

and do well on a qualifying college or career-readiness exam.

Three award levels are offered and any future Alaska high school graduate may become eligible!

Students could receive up to $4,755* a year!

To apply, most qualified students need to complete only the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Awards can be used at participating colleges or universities in Alaska, or for approved career and technical education programs in the state.

*Administered by the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education, the APS is a program of the State of Alaska and subject to annual approval of funding.
