UA Scholarship Deadline

Complete your application to any of the UA campuses and then apply for scholarships. We have a single application for hundreds of scholarships plus links to many more scholarships.

There are only 5 questions on the scholarship application, with one being a personal essay (no more than 500 words). What to write:

• We want to learn something about you.
• What do you plan to do/study/achieve at UAF?
• What achievements have you had in high school?
• Who has had an important influence on your life?  

Sometimes we receive only a couple of sentences and that just doesn't tell us enough about you...so PLEASE, use all 500 words!  

How to...

1. Apply for admission

FAFSA Facts

• The FAFSA stands for FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID - if someone asks you to pay for it...you're at the wrong site. Go to www.fafsa.gov for details on how to complete the FAFSA. 
• The FAFSA is the application for the new Alaska Performance Scholarship.
• If your parents have completed their taxes electronically, they can automatically load their tax information into their FAFSA anytime after January 30th.
• If your parents won't be completing their taxes soon, they can still complete the FAFSA with information from their W-2's, and 1099's or use last year's taxes as an estimate.
• The form continues to become simpler to use and faster to complete.
