-Scientific and environmental study/research that has an educational component.
-Cultural study/research that has an educational or scientific component.
The Permanent Fund awards grants to one or more projects every year, with toal grants awarded in a given year totaling $10,000 or more. Over 135 grants have been awarded since the inception of the fund, with 42 awards made since the year 2000.
