Awarding Process

The Seawolf Award Advisory Committee is composed of two faculty/staff members and two students not applying for the award. After eligibility has been verified, the advisory committee evaluates application materials based on accuracy and thoroughness of application materials, service projects, breadth of participation, and significance of contributions to the community.

Special Considerations

• The number of actual awards available each semester varies.
• Tuition credit can only be used for Anchorage campus courses that are not self-supported and used in the following semester.
• Students who are awarded must be in good disciplinary standing at time award is applied to the student's account.
