Our Mission
The Caleb Scholars Program supports Alaska Native students from Arctic regions. Our scholars continue Caleb Pungowiyi’s legacy of advocacy by stewarding our ancestral knowledge and protecting our Arctic communities and ecosystems.
Our Vision
Empowered Alaska Native scholars: Leading the way to thriving ecosystems through ancestral knowledge and stewardship.
$5000 Per Semester Scholarship Award
The prestigious award level supports the hard work of Scholars who direct their individual talents and passions to make impact in the dynamic and fast-changing field of marine conservation in the Arctic.
Extracurricular Funding
Scholars are expected to pursue experience above and beyond their degree program, like internships, research projects, presentations or conferences, and more. Scholars are eligible for additional resources to support these requirements.
Mentorships and Networking
The Program offers Scholars the unique opportunity to consult with professionals with a combined century of experience working with marine issues in Alaska’s Arctic, in both traditional lifeways and modern science.
The Caleb Scholars Program is available to students from Norton Sound, Northwest Arctic, and Arctic Slope regions. The Program is managed at Kawerak, Inc. in the Norton Sound region. Learn more about Caleb and his connection to Kawerak here.
