This page is where you can find local businesses and community organizations that offer local scholarships for Seward High Seniors!

There are two categories COMMON, meaning they use our “common app” or INDIVIDUAL, which means they have their own application (linked).

If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Gunter at 907-224-9040 or see her in the office.

If you need help with applications like editing or just have questions, Ms. Ransom is available to help in the library.

Alaska SeaLife Center (Richard Hocking Memorial Scholarship) – The Alaska SeaLife Center is proud to announce the Alaska SeaLife Center Richard Hocking Memorial Scholarship, available to graduating seniors. One or more recipients may be awarded up to $1,000 to support their continued education.

This scholarship honors the legacy of Aquarium Curator and marine enthusiast Richard Hocking and reflects the ASLC’s deep commitment to fostering the next generation of curious, driven, and community-minded individuals. The selection committee will review applications through the Common App platform, reviewing all aspects of each application.

What strengthens your application:

Prior connection to the ASLC – Previous participation in ASLC programs or employment with the Center will be taken into favorable consideration.
Field of study – Students planning to pursue marine sciences, life sciences, social sciences, conservation, or closely related fields of study will receive additional consideration.
Science engagement – Involvement in science-related extracurriculars, clubs, research projects, internships, or volunteer work is a valuable asset. Be sure to document any relevant activities thoroughly in your application.

All graduating seniors are welcome to apply. While a background or interest in the sciences is advantageous, the committee encourages any student with a connection to the ASLC or a passion for their community to submit an application and share their story. $1,000
