Do you want to take a summer course but do not have the funds? UAF Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning may have some money for you. Check out these summer financial aid options, starting with in-state tuition for everyone in the summer!


The Sweet Summer Deal can help students attend UAF full time in the summer. Students with at least a 2.0 grade point average can take up to 14 credits and only pay tuition for 10 credits. Students must pass all courses with a C or better. (The Sweet Summer Deal applies only to courses offered by Summer Sessions or eLearning. UAF Community and Tehnical ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ courses are not eligible.)


In addition, continuing UAF students are eligible for the following three financial aid options when taking courses offered through Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning. (Courses through CTC or eLearning do not qualify).


  • The  Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning Undergraduate Tuition Award provides three credits of tuition for students with a 2.5 GPA and financial need as verified by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The tuition award must be used for a course that is required for graduation. Students must either pass the course with at least a C grade or repay the award.

  • The RG and Onnie V. Bouchum/LaShina R. Jones Memorial Scholarship provides $500 awards to two qualified students with a 2.5 GPA or higher.
