With nonprofit funding still determined at the borough level, several community members spoke out in support of Kodiak College and education in general at Thursdayâs Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting.
The assembly has yet to adopt the fiscal year 2022 budget; the most recent borough managerâs draft budget shows zero allocations for nonprofits, including Kodiak College and Kodiak Public Library.
The Kodiak JumpStart program was the center star in the show of support. The program provides lower tuition costs at $100 a credit, up to six credit hours, for first-time college fall freshmen, and $100, up to six credits, for high school students in dual-enrollment programs.
