by Michelle Saport |
The CTC tuition award application period for spring 2016 is now open. The application deadline is Friday, Nov. 20, at 5 p.m. Please see the summary below for a brief overview of the program.
About the CTC Tuition Award Program The Community & Technical College (CTC) offers a limited number of tuition awards each year in support of student success. The focus of the tuition award program is to assist qualified students who are close to completing certificates or degrees. These competitive awards are open to continuing CTC students in good standing. There are two separate competition cycles per year - fall and spring semester.
What is a CTC tuition award? A tuition award is not a grant of cash but instead waives tuition charges for approved courses during the semester of the award. Tuition awards do not waive fees or other costs (e.g., living expenses, textbooks, etc.). A tuition award is applied to the student's UAA account by the Office of Student Financial Assistance. Tuition awards can be used only for courses offered through the UAA Anchorage Main Campus and Chugiak-Eagle River Campus, and can be applied only to courses required for certificates or degrees.
