UA BOR Announces Increased 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Scholars Award and Enhanced Flexibility

June 7, 2024

During its May 24th Board of Regents meeting, the board approved an increase to the award amount for the prestigious 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Scholars Award to $15,000. This significant enhancement marks the first major increase in the Award amount since 2015. Starting in Fall 2024, all 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Scholars will receive $1,875 per semester for eight semesters. In addition to the increased funding, Scholars can now take up to four semesters off. This change gives students greater flexibility as they navigate their college experience and future career plans. The updates apply to all incoming and current 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Scholars.

The 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Scholars Award is offered to Alaska high school students in the top ten percent of their class at the end of their junior year. 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ established the Award in 1999 to encourage Alaska students to attend and graduate from college in their home state. It is designed to provide an incentive for secondary school students to achieve academic excellence and to encourage high school graduates from every Alaska community to seriously consider the opportunities that the University of Alaska has to offer. The scholarships are funded by the University of Alaska Land Grant Trust Endowment Fund and may be used at any University of Alaska location.
