"You cannot hope to build a better world
without improving individuals. We all
must work for our own improvement, and at
the same time, share a general
responsibility for all humanity."
-Marie Curie
Since 1992, NSEDC has continued to provide
support to residents in its member
communities through education, employment
and training opportunities. This investment
in human capital is for the benefit of the
region's economy and furthers the mission of
NSEDC.

NSEDC offers scholarships to students enrolled full-time at an accredited college, university or vocational school. These scholarships provide supplemental funds for higher education or vocational training in the amount of $1500.00 per semester or training session.
The NSEDC Board of Directors feels that there is no better way to stimulate economic development in the Norton Sound region than to invest in the education of our residents furthering their education to take the jobs that are available in the region, that normally went out to outside expertise. From 1992 to 2003, the NSEDC Scholarship Committee, on behalf of the NSEDC Board of Directors, has awarded over $1,500,000 in scholarships.
