The Gift <strong>of</strong> Education<br />
Alice Easley<br />
Memorial<br />
Scholarship<br />
Alice Easley impacted countless lives as<br />
a math pr<strong>of</strong>essor during her 30-year<br />
career at UAA. Although she passed<br />
away in 1999, Alice is still having an impact<br />
on the lives <strong>of</strong> students today through a<br />
scholarship created in her honor by her five<br />
children and close friends.<br />
“As a single parent with five children herself,<br />
she deeply understood the importance<br />
<strong>of</strong> education in rising above difficult<br />
circumstances,” said son Max Easley, UAF ‘91.<br />
Setting up a scholarship in Alice’s memory<br />
was the natural thing for the family to<br />
do, and it honored their mother’s passion<br />
for education. To Alice, education was a<br />
transformative process that affected whole<br />
families, not just individuals.<br />
“We wanted to highlight our mother’s<br />
important work with non-traditional students<br />
at UAA, especially those with dependent<br />
children,” said daughter Alexis Easley, UAF<br />
’85 and ‘87. “She was well-loved by all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
students she encountered but especially<br />
those who needed special encouragement in<br />
order to succeed.”<br />
Alexis said many students blossomed under<br />
Alice’s care, and now, with this scholarship,<br />
her legacy as a gifted teacher continues.<br />
“She would be very proud. And so are we,”<br />
Alexis said. “Our mother was one <strong>of</strong> those<br />
amazing individuals who not only knew how<br />
to educate students but how to inspire them<br />
as well.”<br />
