Hello, my name is Brett Kirk , I grew up in Noatak, Alaska. I am a grateful recipient of the Aqqaluk Trust’s scholarships. I graduated from the Napaaqtugmiut School in 2011 and pursued a BS in Civil Engineering with a minor in Rural Development at UAF. The Aqqaluk Trust’s generosity enabled me to access quality education, shaping my career path profoundly. Their investment not only in my education but also in my community has been invaluable, empowering me to contribute meaningfully. I am deeply thankful to the Aqqaluk Trust for believing in me and countless others, making a lasting impact on shareholders and their personal development.
