CTC Tuition Waiver Scholarship

CTC Tuition Waivers


The Community & Technical College (CTC) awards a limited number of tuition waivers each year in support of student success. This year, the focus of the tuition waiver program is to assist qualified students who are close to achieving their academic goals at our college and who are ready to transition to work, or to advance to the next level of postsecondary education. 

These competitive awards are open to continuing CTC students in good standing. There are two separate competition cycles per year: fall and spring semester. A tuition waiver  is not a grant of cash, but waives tuition charges during the semester of the award.

Awards of up to 12 undergraduate credits are available each semester and final awards are reviewed by the UAA Office of Student Financial Assistance for inclusion in a student financial package as applicable. Applications are reviewed by a five-member elected faculty committee of the college.

Please Note

Applicants please note: The CTC tuition waiver  program adheres to all applicable policies and guidelines of the University of Alaska Board of Regents and UAA Office of Student Financial Assistance. As financial aid awards, tuition waivers are coordinated with university-administered student financial aid packages. Tuition waivers may affect the level of other financial aid you may receive. Please notify the UAA Office of Financial Assistance once you are aware you will be receiving a tuition waiver. Students with tuition waivers must submit completed waiver forms and pay additional fees by the applicable payment deadline. Financial holds on your student account may cause scholarship checks and refund checks to be held up. For additional information about UAA Financial Aid policies that may apply to CTC Tuition Waiver recipients, refer to: the UAA Financial Aid policies website or Chapter Four of the UAA 2011-12 Catalog.
