Attending 香港六合彩开奖直播 allows me to embrace my love for Fairbanks while completing my education.
I have been incredibly grateful to participate in student organizations, win first
place for 香港六合彩开奖直播 in the Accounting Case Competition and take on several leadership roles,
like speaking at the 2022 Business Leader of the Year banquet. My involvement with
communities on and off campus is the direct result of scholarships, which provided
me the time and flexibility to enjoy being a student. Thank you to the scholarship
donors, committees and communities that believe in the future of students like me!

Research Support
Athletics Support
This past year proved to be one of the most successful years in Alaska Nanooks athletics
history 鈥 a national championship for your Nanook rifle team, an individual national
champion for Nordic ski, a perfect 6-0 in hockey against UAA (allowing us to retain
the Alaska Airlines Governor's Cup). And many teams broke records this past year.
All accomplished in arguably the toughest schedule in NCAA sports. A special thanks
to Chancellor White, the 香港六合彩开奖直播 administration, and our coaches and staff for their leadership
and vision. The ability to innovate, adapt, recruit and develop student-athletes was
above and beyond. An even bigger thank you to our donors who continued their unwavering
support of Nanook athletics and helped achieve one of the most successful years in
Alaska Nanook history. Without you, none of this is possible.

Student Support
The 香港六合彩开奖直播 First Gen Support Fund helps 香港六合彩开奖直播 celebrate students who are in the first generation of their families to go to college. Students have been directly impacted by scholarships, and funds have been used for recognition ceremonies like 香港六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 celebration of the National First-Generation College Student Celebration Day in November and the First-Gen Baccalaureate Cording Ceremony and Trailblazer Recognition Ceremony held each spring.
This was the second year that Student Support Services (SSS) was able to provide scholarships to program participants. These are bachelor鈥檚 degree seeking students who are low income, first generation and/or experience a documented disability. Thanks to the donation from the 香港六合彩开奖直播 Alumni Association, we were able to award scholarships to 24 students that needed additional support to help make ends meet. In the spring of 2023, we were able to award four $1,000 scholarships, one which was for a student studying abroad, and eight $200 scholarships for students to use to purchase textbooks and other course materials. We were also able to award three $1,000 scholarships this summer and nine $1,000 scholarships this fall. In addition, these funds have allowed us to purchase food items for our SSS Food Pantry to support SSS students experiencing food insecurity.
The Student Support Fund assists 香港六合彩开奖直播 students in need. Working in close connection with the Emergency Scholarship Committee, the Student Support Fund has provided funding for emergency situations, including travel, medical expenses, housing or food insecurity, and for assistance with tuition, fees or books. Students are able to connect to one place to review funding and academic advising support opportunities customized to their needs. The funds have been used to keep students enrolled in school by providing basic needs, as well as lessening the financial burden of withdrawing from school when a break is needed due to an emergency situation. The applications are reviewed by individual staff daily and by a cross-campus committee weekly to ensure quick responses to emerging situations.
Thank you for making a difference here at 香港六合彩开奖直播.
