The deadline for the FAFSA is at the end of the academic year. However, since the
FAFSA is the most important requirement for Financial Aid at UAA, filling out the
FAFSA early in the year is important for these two reasons:
- The University of Alaska uses the FAFSA to determine eligibility for some of our institutional
scholarships. You should therefore complete the FAFSA and the UAOnline Scholarship
Application by February 15 prior to the start of the academic year.
- The State of Alaska uses your FAFSA to determine eligibility for the Alaska Education
Grant and the Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) if you complete it before June
30.
The FAFSA requires much of the same information as your taxes, so we suggest that
you fill out both your taxes and your FAFSA early in the year, by February 15th, so
you can apply for UAA scholarships.
