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.

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 such generous donors! The Susan McLoughry Nursing Scholarship Fund Match has been unlocked, doubling the impact of your gifts with an additional $2,000 from Dr. Robert Bundtzen and Dr. Joan Bundtzen. Your support helps nursing students cover tuition and educational expenses, empowering them to pursue their passion and provide compassionate care. Together, we’re investing in the future of healthcare, thank you for making this impact possible!
