The CIRI Foundation offers funding for postsecondary education and career education training through various scholarships. Our mission is to promote individual self-development and economic self-sufficiency through education while maintaining pride in culture and heritage among Alaska Natives who are original shareholders of Cook Inlet Region, Inc., and their lineal descendants.

Scholarship Program

We provide scholarships for postsecondary education and career training. Key deadlines for scholarship applications are June 30 and December 31, with designated endowment and competitive scholarships available only at the June 30 deadline. Career Technical Education scholarship applications are accepted every day. All awards are subject to funding availability. 

TCF’s RAVEN Fund is for CIRI shareholders who are not lineal descendants of original shareholders.

CIRI Region Village and Tribal Scholarship Programs
