Alaska counts on our incredible engineers to find the solution to complex Arctic concerns. 75% of UA's grads stay in Alaska long-term, which is something to be proud of; the challenge at hand is ensuring bright students receive the support they need to enroll and graduate. Stephanie Erickson, University of Alaska Foundation board member, challenges Alaska's engineers to be part of the solution. To represent 75% of alumni staying in Alaska long-term, when we reach 750 donors to any program or scholarship, Stephanie will donate $2,000, split between UAA College of Engineering and UAF College of Engineering and Mines.

The UA Foundation Board of Directors thanks the first-hour donors who have set UA Giving Day on a great foot. UA Foundation Board has made their $5,500 donation to UA General Scholarship. Keep spreading the word about UA Giving Day to make UA Giving Day a success!
