, who died earlier this year. Pitney said that one of the most valuable untapped resources was federal aid offered to high school students.
“The higher education fund got caught up in the three quarters vote and the funds were swept into savings,” Pitney said. “We are aggressively pursuing both legislative and legal efforts to ensure that the count and the funding for these critical scholarships is restored so students and parents have certainty and employers have qualified graduates.”
Pitney repeatedly described the cost of post-secondary degrees in Alaska as affordable and mentioned numerous leading programs. She said the nursing program develops approximately 900 graduates per year with a health care certificate after setting a goal of doubling the 70 yearly graduates in the 1990s. Additionally, Pitney said that a Bachelor of Arts program for early childhood education would begin in the fall.
