The Alaska fund shares the wealth on state oil revenues, awarding residents roughly $2,000 a year.
The first thing you need to know about Stockton's stipend plans is that taxpayers aren't footing the bill.
Nor will they pay for Tubbs' "Stockton Scholars" program, which will tap a $20-million grant from the California Community Foundation in an effort to triple the number of Stockton students who go to college.
Absolutely NOT modeled after the Alaska Permanent Fund. That is a fund set up to pay a stipend to ALL Alaska original natives

Might I suggest you do a little more research on the subject...since you are dead wrong?
It is given to
ANY resident (lived in the state more than 1 year) who qualifies,
including children of any age...NOT just to
"original natives."

But you know who's NOT included...and DOESN'T qualify?
