In recognition of his efforts, the scholarship fund was renamed the "Don Bell Alaska Loggers Scholarship Fund" in 1996. Over the past 30 years, the program has awarded more than $76,000 in academic scholarships in memory of deceased AFA members, assisting more than 64 Alaska students pursue post secondary educations
