What is the Guardian Angel Scholarship?

This scholarship was established in 2024by a private donation from a generous donor. The purpose of this scholarship is twofold: to provide financial support to families pursuing a Catholic education and to foster a strong, vibrant, Catholic community in Anchorage.

Who is Eligible?

Scholarships are available for families of full-time students enrolled in Kindergarten through 12th grade for the 2024-2025 school year.

Scholarship Recipients:
