Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Scholarship Program (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00379) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Region 7, with program involvement from the Office of Subsistence Management (OSM). The purpose of the funding is narrowly focused: to provide academic scholarships through the University of Alaska's Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) for students preparing for careers in engineering and environmental sciences. The grant is designed to support workforce and education outcomes tied to science, technology, and natural resource fields, aligning with broader federal interests in environmental stewardship and technical capacity building.
This opportunity is explicitly a single-source award. That means the agency has already identified ANSEP (University of Alaska) as the intended recipient and plans to issue one financial assistance agreement under the authority cited as 505 DM 2.14(B). Because it is single-source, the notice is not a request for proposals, and the government does not plan to accept or review applications from other organizations. In practical terms, the posting functions more as a public notice of intent to award rather than a competitive funding announcement.
The award instrument is a grant, and the eligible applicant category listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which matches the designated recipient. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.676 and is categorized across several activity areas, including education; employment, labor, and training; environment and natural resources; and science and technology/research and development. The expected number of awards is one, reflecting the single-recipient structure.
Funding limits are stated with an award ceiling of up to $250,000. The performance period is described as not to exceed five years, indicating that the agreement may cover multiple years of scholarship support (subject to the terms of the grant and availability of funds), rather than being limited to a single academic year. A key restriction is that funds cannot be used for any purpose other than academic scholarships. This is a strict use-of-funds requirement intended to ensure the award directly benefits students via scholarship assistance and does not subsidize unrelated program expenses.
The announcement was created on August 3, 2016, with an original closing date of August 15, 2016. Given the single-source nature, that closing date is best understood as an administrative timeline for finalizing the notice rather than a deadline for competing applications. Overall, the grant is a targeted federal investment in scholarship support delivered through ANSEP to help students, particularly those connected to Alaska Native education pathways, move into engineering and environmental science careers that are closely tied to Alaska's natural resource management and scientific workforce needs.
