Kodiak Klassic Scholarship

Since 2015, the Kodiak Klassic Scholarship Fund has contributed over $30,000 in scholarships to graduating athletes who have competed in the tournament.   Applicants were required to demonstrate service, leadership, and volunteerism in the school community; character, work ethic, and sportsmanship on the basketball court; and scholastic success in their senior classes.  It was through the generous support of our alumni – and local businesses – that we were able to provide this fund.

A huge thank you to the following alumni families and local businesses for their generous donations to the Kodiak Klassic Scholarship Fund over the years: Dr. Stan Heinrichs, the Clough family, the Liski family, Queen Charlotte Lodge, Atlas Power Sweeping, My Passion Media, Douglas College, Tru Earth, and Basic Goods Trading Company.

Additionally, we’d like to thank Chad Clifford and Pasha Bains of Drive Basketball, for their continued support of the Kodiak Klassic and KK Scholarship Fund.
