Save money on tuition and education costs

We offer resident tuition to qualified military-affiliated students, as well as over 450 scholarship opportunities — some of which are offered specifically for military and veteran students.

In addition to support provided by UAF, you may also qualify for a variety of VA education benefits you can use to help pay for school and training. Our advisors can help you determine which benefits you and your family can use, and how to apply.

• Bachelor of Security and Emergency Management
• Master of Security and Disaster Management
• Minor in Military Security Studies
