The Post-Secondary Housing Assistance Program helps eligible students with rental expenses while they pursue higher education or career training away from home.
The maximum amount allocated to each student will be $2,000 ($1,000 per semester). If documented need does not justify the entire amount, AHA may, at its discretion, award a lesser amount.

- Must reside in, or if currently in school, have resided in the Aleutian/Pribilof Islands Region immediately prior to submitting an application.

The entire household income must be considered for determination. Income verification documents may not be more than 180 days old at the time AHA determines eligibility.
Use of Funds
Scholarship funds may only be used to assist with eligible student housing costs.

Scholarship funds will not be paid directly to the student.
