Apply for Aid

1. Complete the Applications

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the key to financial aid at UAA. The FAFSA determines your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work study; state grants and scholarships; and some UAA scholarships. Even if you do not think you’ll qualify for need-based federal aid programs, UAA and the State of Alaska use FAFSA data to help select recipients for various grants and scholarships.
