UAF Student Support

Students are the reason we are here! Our students come from all walks of life and are working hard to earn their degrees. You can make a difference with a gift to one of the funds below.

UAF First Gen Support Fund: To support first generation students as well as programs and activities available to first generation students at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. 

UAF Food Pantry: The UAF food pantry provides food to students in need at the UAF campus. 

UAF Honors Program Climate Scholars Support:  The UAF Climate Scholar Program offers the first opportunity of its kind in the nation for undergraduates to get involved and make a meaningful impact.

Nanook Pledge (UAF General Scholarship): The Nanook Pledge is a merit based scholarship that provides four years of annual assistance to first-year students, transfer students and readmitted students at UAF.

Nanook Commitment (UAF Opportunity Scholarship): The Nanook Commitment scholarship is a renewable award for incoming first-year, transfer and readmitted students to help them bridge the gap between what they can afford and the cost of attendance.

UAF Annual Fund: The Annual Fund plays a vital role in sustaining UAF — representing the combined power of donors giving at all levels. Annual Fund gifts support: student scholarships, facility improvements, equipment, student organizations and much more.

There are still a few more hours left for UA Giving Day! Help us with this race to the finish.

Imagine what $2,500 could do for the students you care about. 

  1. Every donor that gives their first UA Giving Day 2023 gift ($5+) between 5-10:59 PM will be entered into another drawing for $2,500 to designate toward their favorite program or scholarship. 
  2. If you make an additional donation of $49+ before UA Giving Day closes at 10:59 PM, you will be entered into a drawing to designate $2,500 toward your favorite UA program or scholarship. Every gift $49+ made between 5-10:59 PM tonight is entered into the drawing.

Every gift makes a difference for University of Alaska students.
