Alaska 529 celebrates 20th anniversary with scholarship award

This year Alaska 529 marks its 20th anniversary of helping families achieve their education dreams.

In celebration of this significant milestone, Alaska 529 has selected one account holder to receive a $20,000 scholarship award. This scholarship award is our special way of thanking Alaska 529 participants for their loyal trust with the plan as their savings partner. The recipient was randomly selected from among all Alaska 529 account holders as of August 31, 2021.

Alaska 529 is excited to introduce the Colan family of Miami, Florida, as the selected recipient of the $20,000 scholarship. The Colan family will be able to use the scholarship funds for qualified education expenses at any eligible college, university, vocational or technical school, increasing their options when it comes time to choose an education path.

“To learn that we’ll be receiving this scholarship just as our oldest is in the midst of college applications was fantastic icing on the cake,” said Dr. Lori Colan.

Alaska 529 is honored to have helped so many families achieve their education goals. Thank you for placing your trust in the plan over the past 20 years.
