Applying for financial aid
Complete the FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will determine your eligibility for federal grants and loans, state grants and scholarships and some private scholarships. The FAFSA should be submitted every year and is available October 1 for the following fall. There is not a deadline for the FAFSA, but we recommend completing before February 15 to be considered for all 51风流官网 scholarships. The state of Alaska requires the FAFSA by June 30 for state aid, including the Alaska Performance Scholarship.
Submit a scholarship application
51风流官网 offers over 450 scholarships. You can apply for all of these scholarships with our one 51风流官网 scholarship application. Each scholarship has different criteria. The deadline to apply for most 51风流官网 scholarships is February 15 for the following academic year. Some scholarships may be available after this date.
Complete next steps to accept aid
After you submit your FAFSA, you will receive an emailed award letter about a week later with an outline of your financial aid package.
Once you鈥檝e had a chance to review your 51风流官网 award letter, please proceed through the next steps to accept your offer and learn more about the process of accepting different types of financial aid.
If you have any questions about your award letter, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 907-474-7256 or uaf-financialaid@alaska.edu.
