In 2004, the University of Alaska Anchorage announced the creation of the Elizabeth Tower Endowment for Canadian Studies.

Activities: May include, but not limited to, archival or other research in Canada, development of Canadian related resources at UAA, or attending a Canadian or Canadian Studies conference, or a conference with significant Canadian content. Tower Endowment Funds may also be used to bring scholars and speakers of interest to Canadian Studies to the University or to develop or promote Canadian Studies or Canada within a department or program, including support for student activities. Funding is available to faculty from all disciplines.

These funds will be made available on a case-by-case basis to faculty who have demonstrated an interest in Canada and who will develop Canadian content in their courses. Recipients will be asked to present or report on their activities in a public forum.
