About us / The fund

An investment in Alaska.

A commitment to education, government, and public service that spans generations.

The mission

Building the next generation of leadership.

Founded in 1977, the original Nick Begich Scholarship Intern Fund was created to carry forward the ideals of Nicholas J. Begich, whose careers combined education and public service.

The current Fund reports more than $700,000 in educational support since its establishment. It continues to offer scholarships and, on occasion, internships or fellowships.

Some historical award totals and eligibility details differ across pages of the existing Wix site. Confirm current policies and numbers before publication.
