Scholarship Funds

Give to Scholarship Funds!

Scholarship support is one of the most powerful and important ways to impact the lives of students at the University of Alaska Southeast. There are three ways to support student scholarships at UAS:

1. Annual Giving
2. Gifts to existing scholarships
3. New scholarships

Annual Giving

The most immediate, substantial way to impact students is through scholarships, and many of those come in as a result of unrestricted Annual Giving. At UAS alumni, friends, employees and community members can give meaningful gifts on an annual basis to the Chancellor's unrestricted fund. These funds are used for many purposes: to supplement existing named scholarship funds, or start new endowed scholarships as well as general scholarships, depending on the needs determined by the Chancellor.

Gifts to existing scholarships

Contributions can be made to existing endowed or restricted funds at any time. This is a significant way of honoring a person, or showing support for the values they express through the scholarship criteria.

Note – students who wish to apply for scholarships, please see more specific information on the Financial Aid webpage.

Establishing a new scholarship

If you are interested in establishing a new scholarship, please reach out to uas.advancement@alaska.edu for more information.

We’d love to talk with you about your ideas for creating a new memorial scholarship or contributing to an existing fund. Please feel free to email us at uas.development@alaska.edu or contact us at the phone number below. We can provide the wording typically used in obituaries to specify contributions in honor of a loved one, if you need that immediately.
