Nanook Brotherhood Scholarship
July 20, 2020
In 2018, Vice Chancellor Keith Champagne pioneered a project that established the UAF local chapter of the national Student African American Brotherhood (SAAB), named Brother To Brother (B2B). The chapter is open to students of all ethnic backgrounds and serves as both an informal and formal support system, giving men of color positive role models and encouraging college attendance, good grades, and graduation. They also aid in finding jobs in their field.
This year, B2B will select 10 students to receive a scholarship of $2,000 and 1 student to receive $5,000 to be split between fall and spring semester. Applicants must submit an application to Academic Works with a 500 word essay, and meet the following criteria:
- New or returning UAF degree-seeking bachelor degree-seeking students
- Full time enrollment
- 3.0 cumulative GPA at UAF or previous school
- FAFSA completion recommended
- Identify as male
- Meet UAF's Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
- Demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity and caring
