The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program has received $5 million to expand its high school component to Dillingham, Kotzebue and Juneau. The ultimate goal is to offer the program in every community with a University of Alaska campus.

Program founder and vice provost Herb Schroeder said it helps the state and families save money.

Schroeder started ANSEP after seeing how many students from rural communities were unprepared for college math and science classes. The first Acceleration Academy started in the Mat-Su in 2015. “This whole idea of collaboration came out of Alaska Native culture, where everyone works together to be successful,” he said. “If you live in the village, everybody depends upon each other.”
