Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Scholarship Program (ANSEP), Alaska is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the pipeline of Alaska Native and other rural and Indigenous Alaskans entering and persisting in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. It is framed around BLMs mission of educating and encouraging the next generation of stewards, with the agency seeking to partner with the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program, a well-established effort known for building long-term pathways into technical professions. The core goal is not just short-term training, but a broader, systematic shift in hiring patterns by increasing the number of students who enter STEM degree programs, stay in them, graduate, and move into professional roles and leadership positions that benefit Alaska communities and the stewardship of natural and cultural resources.
The opportunity supports ANSEPs full suite of development stages, which includes pre-college programming, a Summer Bridge component that helps students transition successfully into university-level STEM, university retention support to improve persistence and graduation outcomes, and graduate-level components that further prepare students for advanced professional practice and leadership. Across these stages, ANSEP students are expected to receive both financial support and practical, career-relevant assistance, which can include exposure to professional environments, mentorship, and other hands-on support that helps students move from education into the workforce. The intended result is an increased number of practicing Indigenous scientists and engineers in Alaska, strengthening local capacity for technical work and long-term stewardship in the state.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant issued as a cooperative agreement under the BLM, categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The program anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The award ceiling is $150,000 and the award floor is $22,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), though applicants would need to follow any clarifications provided in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on September 1, 2010, with a closing date of September 16, 2010, and it was archived on October 15, 2010. The official listing was made available via Grants.gov, and the contact for access issues or announcement questions was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, at 907-271-5193 or s2smith@blm.gov.
