The UAS Alumni & Friends Association (UASAA) is an open membership organization whose purpose is to serve as a vital connection between UAS alumni, supporters, and the University. The UASAA communicates and advocates for the goals and programs of UAS, and fosters a continuous sense of community by establishing relationships and networking among alumni.

Support for students and providing annual scholarships are top priorities of the University of Alaska Alumni Association (UASAA) Board of Directors.

Through the generous support of UAS' alumni community, membership fees, and events, the UAS Alumni & Friends Association awards $25,000 each academic year to UAS students.

You can support this effort with a gift to the UAS Alumni Scholarship: Donating to this fund supports current students and helps to ensure future generations of students will be able to attend UAS.
