Scholarships

Step One:

• Open UA Academic Works
• Sign in with UA username and password

Step Two:

• Complete the General Application
• Complete the UA Anchorage application and be certain to choose UAA-Kenai Peninsula as the home campus
• Go through the recommended opportunities section and apply
• Be sure to check out Other Scholarship Opportunities

Step Three:

Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) every year.

Complete the FAFSA application for the current academic year as soon as possible!

• The FAFSA is used for two things:
  1. The FAFSA provides biographical information that may be used to help identify eligible applicants for some scholarships.
  2. Some scholarships require that students demonstrate financial need to receive an award. Financial need is measured by the difference between annual college expenses and the potential amount that families can afford to contribute. Don't skip applying for need-based scholarships just because of initially not qualifying for federal need-based financial aid. Lacking federally-defined financial need does not mean a student is ineligible for scholarships at UAA.
