December 28th 9:15 pm | *Hannah Heimbuch*

A University of Alaska Fairbanks language program received a $1.9 million
boost last week from a U.S. Department of Education grant that targets
language-learning techniques for Alaska Native students.

The three-year project will provide computer-based language programs for
Alaska Native students, grades K-12 and graduate students who are or are
wanting to be educators.

The need for support in language learning has been voiced in school
districts and leading cultural organizations across Alaska's Native
communities.
