The Migrant Education Program would like to keep migrant families up to date with information about opportunities available to their students. Please take a look at the information below to see what opportunities could be available for you or your student.

On May 7, 2020, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce announced allocations of Section 12005 CARES Act fisheries assistance funding to all coastal states and territories. Alaska was allocated $50 million of the $300 million available for the program. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game CARES Act Relief for Fisheries Participants Final Spend Plan provides eligibility criteria for participants in each of the eligible sectors, which are seafood processing, commercial harvesting, sport charter, subsistence, and aquaculture. The spending plan allocates 100% of available funds as direct payments to fishery participants in eligible sectors. While all sectors have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, available funds will only cover a portion of the losses incurred by affected fishery participants.
