Applying for admission
You can find most anything you need to know about applying to UAF on our admissions website, and our student ambassadors and admissions counselors are here to help you each step of the way.
We're a top university
We've got our own rocket range, an icebreaking science ship and professors who've published more Arctic research than any other university worldwide. But we offer far more than science — we're enriched by a full suite of art, theater, film and language programs. It's no wonder U.S. News & World Report calls UAF a top-tier national university — the only one in Alaska.
Affordable excellence
You can get the best of college without paying a fortune. You'll find world-class academic programs and affordable tuition at UAF. We make high-quality education accessible.
Finding the money
Even with our low tuition, everyone can use help paying for college, so there are grants, student jobs, work-study and loans. The $13,500 per year Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) scholarship is available to almost everyone from Western states. UAF also has hundreds of privately funded scholarships, and our Nanook Pledge and Commitment scholarships can offer four-year certainty.
Check out our campuses
There's no better way to find out if UAF is right for you than to visit. See the Troth Yeddha' campus in Fairbanks in-person or explore online via our virtual tour. Or attend a regular online information session. And you can always call and talk with a student, professor or staff member.
