UA provides a TREASURE TROVE of financial aid
The University of Alaska awards $102 MILLION in financial aid each year, including $14 million in scholarships and $13.5 million in grants.
Look around you - one out of every two University of Alaska undergraduates is on financial aid.
Over 3,000 students at UA receive the Pell Grant.
The State of Alaska, through the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education, will provide a cool half million in need based grants next fall that will range from $500-$2000 per student.
And, remember, the early bird gets...the money. Certain grant funds are limited, and qualified applicants that apply early stand the best chance to receive that money.The Federal government provides need based grants to UA students to the tune of $13.1 million a year at single payouts of $200-$4310 per student.

It only makes sense...(Duh?)
If you could work at something for 30-45 minutes and earn thousands of dollars, wouldn't you do it??
Well that's exactly what filling out out the FAFSA is....So do it!
