Student Research & Creative Scholarship Showcase
In April of 2022, the University Honors College will be hosting the 2nd annual Student Research & Creative Scholarship Showcase. Building on the success of this new event's first iteration, this year's SR&CSS event is expanding the pool of submission categories, and will (attempt) to provide an in-person function to bring students and Anchorage community members back together in a spirited and friendly competition as a way to celebrate some of our students' best academic work!
Please visit our webpage for more information, and to browse and enjoy last year's Showcase Prize winners' and participants' academic projects!
Honors Housing Scholarship!
UAA is pleased to offer students in the University Honors College a $1,500 per year housing scholarship. The Academic Honors Housing Scholarship is open to students in the University Honors College and recipients of the UA Scholars award. Additionally, University Honors College students who live in student housing in their second year and beyond are eligible to join the Academic Honors Living Learning Community (LLC). Being a part of the Academic Honors LLC gives University Honors College students the opportunity to live in a community of peers with programs, support and resources tailored to their specific needs. The student housing application is now open so you can apply today! For more information on student housing and how to apply, please visit the Residence Life website.
Details:
The Academic Honors Housing Scholarship is applied each fall and spring semester as a $750 discount off the cost of room and board. The scholarship will be automatically applied; no additional application is needed! Residence Life is also offering the General Housing Scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic year valued at $2,000 ($1,000 for the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters). University Honors College students are eligible for both the Academic Honors and General Housing Scholarships totaling up to $3,500 in annual discounts if they live in student housing next academic year.
Students must remain in active status with the University Honors College to be eligible for the housing scholarship. First-time, first-year students who choose to live in student housing are required to participate in the First-Year Residential Experience (FYRE) Program the first year they live in student housing. After their first year, University Honors College students can join one of UAA’s amazing Living Learning Communities, including the Academic Honors LLC.
