Justice major does personal fundraising to offer scholarship through Anchorage Police Auxiliary Search Team

Lena Illig, Justice major, has been a member of the Anchorage Police Department (APD) Auxiliary Search Team for two years.  The primary mission of the search team is to assist APD in locating and rendering aid to persons reported lost or missing within the APD service district. The search team is an all volunteer, non-profit corporation.

Through fundraising that Lena did, the APD Auxiliary Search Team is now offering a $250 scholarship to students seeking a degree in Justice, Legal Studies, Emergency Services, Fire Safety, or a related field.  Lena plans to continue fundraising for the APD Search Team scholarship program.

Send all inquiries about the scholarship to Lena Illig at lena.illig@gmail.com. Applications forms are available in the Justice Center, Consortium Library, room LIB 213 or online at http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/justice/scholarships.cfm
