We accept all students applications. The Alaska State Aerie and Auxiliary also have scholarships and the student must be a child and/or relative of a FOE Valdez Aerie or Auxiliary 1971 member, for details and copies of the State applications go to the Alaska State Aerie website at alaskaeagles.org. We’ll have copies of the applications at the VHS counselors office in March.
