UA Giving Day 2026

Thank you for being part of Giving Day and for your generous support of the University of Alaska Southeast Alumni Scholarship! Your gift, together with the $2,500 challenge provided by the UAS Alumni Association, is helping grow scholarship funding and create more opportunities for students to pursue their educational goals. Because of supporters like you and the continued commitment of the Alumni Association, more students are able to stay focused on their studies and move closer to achieving their dreams. We are truly grateful for your generosity and for the Alumni Association’s leadership in making this meaningful impact possible.

Challenge unlocked! Thank you, Mary K. Hughes and the John C. Hughes Foundation, and to our generous UA Giving Day donors. $5,000 has been unlocked to support the Patricia Hughes Eastaugh Teaching Scholarship for education students systemwide. Because of you, future educators across Alaskawill receive the support they need to learn, lead, and make a lasting impact in their communities.

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.

Thank you for being part of Giving Day and for your generous support of the UAS Alaska GED Achiever Scholarship!

Because of your kindness and the inspiring generosity of Michael and Jeri, more students are receiving the financial support they need to continue their education and build brighter futures. We are truly grateful for your contribution and for Michael and Jeri’s dedication to expanding opportunity at UAS.

Thank you to the 100 UAS Alumni donors and UA President Pat Pitney for unlocking $2,000 to support the UAS Excellence fund!
