AWARDED BY THE HEALING HAND FOUNDATION

DEADLINE: May 5, 2025 at 11:59 PM ALASKA TIME

The 2025 Ethel Lund Visionaries in Healthcare Scholarship program, which is administered by the Healing Hand Foundation, awards competitive scholarships to Alaska Native and American Indian students from Southeast Alaska interested in pursuing healthcare fields. Awarded scholarships can be used to pay for tuition, travel, books, living expenses, or other education-related fees. The program will award two (2) $2,500 scholarships, three (3) $1,000 scholarships, and two (2) $500 scholarships.

This scholarship honors the legacy of Ethel Aanwoogeex’ Lund, who was known by many as the "Godmother of Tribal Health". Growing up in Wrangell, Alaska, she saw how poor health care affected Alaska Native people throughout Southeast Alaska. She helped form the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) in 1975 and in 2001 she was also one of the founding members of the Healing Hand Foundation. Ethel Lund believed that building healthy families requires the integration of cultural practices, traditional medicines, and foods. Ms. Lund was the President Emeritus of SEARHC and The Healing Hand Foundation.
