UAA is pleased to offer UA Scholars and students in the University Honors College (hereafter referred to as 鈥淎cademic Honors Students鈥�) a $1,500 annual housing scholarship! The Academic Honors Housing Scholarship is applied each fall and spring semester as a $750 discount off room charges.

The residential community at UAA provides students an unforgettable experience built on the tenets of educational success, social responsibility and community connectedness. Staff members in the Department of Residence Life are dedicated to the success of residents, and work hard to ensure our residence halls and apartments foster a social, educational and inclusive environment.

Academic Honors Eligibility

In order to qualify for the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship, a student must only meet the eligibility requirements for either the UA Scholars Award or the University Honors College. Being a UA Scholar and in the University Honors College does not increase the award amount of $750. For more information regarding eligibility requirements, please visit the UA Scholars or University Honors College website

Terms and Conditions

The Academic Honors Housing Scholarship can only be awarded in the form of a discount (i.e., a reduction in the amount charged to a student鈥檚 account) and cannot be used to pay for the deposit, application fee or any other charges or fees a student owes to UAA. The discount will automatically be applied to the student accounts of eligible students through the end of the add/drop period each fall and spring semester. Residents who become eligible after this date must contact the Department of Residence Life at uaa_residencelife@alaska.edu in order to have the discount applied to their student account. Requests to apply the discount after the add/drop period will be accepted up until the withdrawal deadline each semester.  

In the event a student cancels their Housing and Dining Agreement and is eligible for a full or partial refund of their housing costs, the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship will be removed from the student鈥檚 account and the student will receive any refund they qualify for based on the actual rate of the room. The refund schedule can be found on the Residence Life Cancellation webpage. For more information on current housing and dining rates, please visit the Residence Life Rates webpage. 

The scholarship amount, eligibility requirements and determination process, and all other terms related to the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship included here are subject to change, with or without notice, at the sole discretion of the university.

Frequently Asked Questions

  No, there is not a separate Academic Honors Housing Scholarship application. The scholarship is automatically applied in the form of a discount to the student account of residents who have received the UA Scholars award or been accepted to and in active status with the University Honors College by the end of the add/drop period each fall and spring semester.

• If I move off campus and want to come back to student housing, will I be eligible to receive the scholarship again?
  Yes! As long as you meet all other eligibility requirements, you will receive the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship again.
• My student housing costs are covered by another scholarship or other funding source. Can I receive the value of the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship in some other way?

  No. The Academic Honors Housing Scholarship is only applied in the form of a discount on the semester room cost of student housing. However, we still encourage you to consider living in student housing and participating in the Academic Honors LLC!.

• I believe I meet all the eligibility requirements to receive the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship, but it is not reflected on my student account. What should I do?

If you have verified your eligibility and it is past the add/drop deadline, please feel free to contact Residence Life at 907-751-7202 or via email at uaa_residencelife@alaska.edu to inquire as to the status of your scholarship.  

• I am living in student housing over the summer. Will the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship be applied as a discount on the cost for summer housing?

  The Academic Honors Housing Scholarship is only applied in the fall and spring semesters. We hope you enjoy your summer though!

• Will the scholarship impact my financial aid?
  Residence Life is obligated to notify the Financial Aid Office when a student鈥檚 semester housing costs have been adjusted in order for the student鈥檚 estimated Cost of Attendance to be updated. It is possible that this adjustment will result in a scenario in which too much aid has been disbursed to the student or the student paid a higher amount than was necessary to the institution. The Financial Aid Office will communicate with students should any of these scenarios apply to them. If you need assistance or have any questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
• Is there anything I need to know about the scholarship for my taxes?
  The amount of all scholarships and grants processed by the institution in a calendar year are reported for tax purposes on Form 1098-T. Since the Academic Honors Housing Scholarship is processed as a discount on the amount charged to a student for housing expenses as opposed to a scholarship payment on the student account, this amount will not be reported as a scholarship payment on Form 1098-T.
