The UA Scholars Award is a $15,000 scholarship awarded to select Alaska high school students who are in the top 10% of their class at the end of their junior year. The Award may be used at any University of Alaska campus. The scholarship is distributed in the amount of $3,750 per year for four years.

The scholarship funds may be used for tuition, fees, room, board, books or study abroad programs.
