Norton Sound Economic Development Corporation, Bering Straits Foundation, Norton Sound Health Corporation and Kawerak have partnered together to ease the process of applying for higher education scholarships for the people of our region. The new application is temporarily called "SPANS" which stands for "Seward Peninsula Application Network Scholarship." This application is applicable for individuals going into accredited college or vocational education programs. Previously, applicants were required to complete different application forms which all required similar information. Now applicants can simply fill out the one SPANS application and submit photo copies to each organization along with the other required documents specific to each agency.

For more information on other state and national scholarships/internships and other educational opportunities that you may qualify for, please refer to CIRI's Education Resource Handbook. It is an excellent resource.
