Overview

Kathryn E. And John P. Doyle Scholarship Fund An endowed scholarship fund established by John. P. Doyle. This scholarship is intended to make awards to female students studying degrees in the sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus of the University of Alaska. Scholarships will usually be made on an annual basis, but income available may accumulate for a reasonable time if no appropriate scholar for the Fund exists in a given year of if the balance of the fund is not sufficient. The Kathryn E. and John P. Doyle Scholarship Fund was established with The Alaska Community Foundation in 2015. Kathryn (Kay) Doyle was tenacious and adventurous. She chose Alaska as her home in her early forties and, after a career flying for the military, she settled into a career as a flight attendant. Not one to sit idly by, she was often seen taking over the flight controls instead. Her husband John Doyle was a professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who shared his passion for fish with his students. Though he eventually retired in Anchorage after a long career within the UA system, he could often be found in rural Alaska helping people with tax documents and learning to become a better fisherman. Both placed a high value on education, and their passion for students to better themselves through education lives on in the awarding of scholarships to Alaskan students.
