The Caleb Scholars Program was founded in 2011 to support Alaska Native students from three Arctic regions: Norton sound, Northwest Arctic, and Arctic Slope. The fellowship program cultivates Alaskan Inuit leaders and advances Inuit-led conservation advocacy by providing community and cultural connection, professional development, mentorship support, and monetary support to individuals pursuing higher education. The program helps link traditional Inuit knowledge and Western academic practices for the benefit Alaska Native communities and the environment today and into the future.
