The continuation awards were expected to be released on July 1 but were delayed until Senator Murkowski engaged directly with the Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon last week to expedite the awards. "Last week, I raised this issue with Secretary McMahon, and I’m pleased she agreed to expedite the obligation of the funds for the Alaska Native Education Program grants that Congress appropriated earlier this year,” said Senator Murkowski. “ANEP helps Alaska Native Tribes, Tribal organizations, eligible schools, and other organizations meet the needs of Alaska Native students in wide variety of ways. Grants provide, for example, culturally relevant curriculum, tutoring and other academic supports, indigenous language revitalization, workforce development opportunities, teacher professional development, postsecondary planning and support, and success, early childhood education, and afterschool programming. I will continue to champion this program and work with the Department to ensure this funding is administered more expeditiously going forward." The $41.3 million in continuation funding will fully support all 2024 and 2025 ANEP grantees. Grantees awarded funding in 2024 will receive the third and final year of their three-year grant period, while 2025 grantees will receive the second year of funding under their three-year awards. ### | 1 | 2026-08-06T07:37:31Z | 2026-08-06T07:38:34Z |
