Benefactor fund grants available to student groups
The Troth Yeddha Dance Group, recipients of a 2022-23 grant from the UAFAA Benefactor Fund, welcomes alumni and friends to the Regents' Great Hall during the 2023 Nanook Rendezvous reunion.
Student and campus groups can apply for a grant of up to $1,000 from the UAF Alumni Association. The funds will support projects that identify specific needs and improve campus opportunities for current students. The application deadline is Oct. 23.
If you are a student or work with a student organization, you are invited to make a request through the UAFAA Benefactor Fund Request Form.
Last year, UAFAA awarded $20,000 to campus programs and student organizations. Many of the awards supported creative expression, such as the beading club, the student ceramics art guild and two dance groups..
The UAF Alumni Association has committed to supporting students each year with its small-grant program. The UAFAA Benefactor Fund was established in 1998 to encourage alumni to participate in an annual giving program that directly supports students.
