Alaska Performance Scholarship

The Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) rewards Alaska resident high school graduates who complete a rigorous curriculum and meet a GPA or test-score tier. Awards are tiered: up to $7,000/year for a 3.5 GPA (or ACT 25/SAT 1210), $5,250/year for a 3.0 GPA (or ACT 23/SAT 1130), and $3,500/year for a 2.5 GPA (or ACT 21/SAT 1060). It renews for up to 8 semesters (four years), for a lifetime maximum of $28,000, and can be used at participating Alaska colleges or approved career/technical programs. Students file the FAFSA by the priority deadline (private/homeschool students also submit a separate eligibility form).
