Calling All Artists!

Arctic Education Foundation (AEF) is excited to announce its first-ever summer event – Arctic Education Benefit on Friday, June 11 at the Alaska Zoo.

This year all proceeds raised from the summer event will benefit Iñupiat youth seeking postsecondary degrees, training or certificate endorsements in order to become successful leaders in their communities. At this event we will present the art at our VIP Reception and Silent Auction featuring exceptional hand-crafted artwork.

AEF cordially invites you to support our mission of promoting an educated, trained Iñupiaq workforce by making a donation today. We are still in need of auction items, including artwork, wearable art, “experience” packages, gift baskets and/or Benefit sponsorships. A donation form is included for your convenience. In-kind donations may be eligible for a commission, if desired.

Thank you for your time and consideration when it comes to contributing to our students. I hope you are able to join us in support of AEF and Alaska Native education at the 2021 Arctic Education Benefit! Quyanaqpak!

AEF Future Leaders

We’ve had a long break from sharing some of the work we’ve been doing here at Arctic Education Foundation. It has been a difficult year in so many ways, but also one that has presented new opportunities and seen our young people overcome unprecedented challenges in their educational endeavors. I’m excited to share with you their successes as well as the progress AEF continues to make in supporting its students.

In this issue, AEF is pleased to announce its 2020 Anaġi Leadership Award winner and Ivalu Scholarship Award winner. We also are proud to recognize students who achieved 4.0 GPA’s under what proved to be unusual educational circumstances. We remember a founder of Arctic Education Foundation, Dr. Jacob Anaġi Adams Sr., who passed on September 24, 2020. As always, I appreciate the opportunity to address our many supporters who help to change lives through education. We hope you enjoy our Spring 2021 Future Leaders Newsletter.
