Culture

We offer funding for individuals that are shareholders or descendants of The Aleut Corporation (Aleut) to learn Unangam Tunuu, the Aleut language. This funding is offered year-round, separate from our normal college scholarship program.

To get started, please log-in and access the Iqyax Form, which contains this program and several others.

Grants are available for organizations that serve Aleut shareholders and descendants. Through these grants, we offer ongoing support to Aleut communities to host culture camps and other programs. Our full guidelines and application form are available at the button below. Please contact us at the office if you have any questions.

As part of our cultural preservation mission for the Aleut people, we offer funding for travel to eligible applicants for various cultural or educational activities. We sponsor travel for both individuals and groups.

• The standard travel scholarship is up to $1,000 per person.

We also offer special funding to travel for certain seasonal events relevant to the Aleut community. Travel scholarships for these events are offered on a first come, first served basis until funding is exhausted for the year:

• First Alaskans Institute Annual Elders & Youth Conference – up to $2,500 per person.
• The Aleut Corporation Annual Shareholder Meeting – up to $2,500 per person.
• Culture Camp – Up to $2,500 per person.

Please note that we are no longer able to fund travel for the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) convention. This policy will remain in effect until further notice.
