Financial Aid Available to You

Before you take the first step of applying to your online degree program, you should develop a plan that outlines how you will cover the costs of your entire program. Students enrolling at the associate's or bachelor's level could be eligible for federal grants to help fund their program, which does not require repayment after graduation. Additional funds can be granted through federal or private students loans or even scholarships. One of the best ways to see what type of aid you qualify for is filling out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid each year. This application can help you gain access to grants and loans depending on your yearly income and family composition. Our team encourages you to research potential scholarship opportunities available in your community and at your university of choice.

AK In-State Tuition

There are several different ways that you could possibly qualify for the lower in-state tuition rate through universities in the state of Alaska. Future students that can provide proof of residency in the state for the last 2 years can qualify for residency status at the time of registration.

Those that have received the State of Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend over the last 12 months can also be considered for residency status. Other students that could qualify for in-state tuition rates are those with parents in the military, children of university employees, children of parents that have received degrees from the University of Alaska, and members of specific scholastic programs that waive nonresidential tuition charges in the state of Alaska. If you believe that you meet the criteria for in-state status in Alaska, you should contact the enrollment office at your university prior to applying.
