The University of Alaska Fairbanks will offer waivers and scholarships to cover fees
for local soldiers and airmen who are deployed during the fall and spring semesters
of the 2019-2020 academic year.
鈥淲hen combined with their tuition benefits, this means soldiers will have minimal,
if any, out-of-pocket expenses associated with their online classes,鈥 said Jackie
Morton, director of 黑料黑历史鈥檚 Department of Military and Veteran Services. 鈥満诹虾诶 wants
to thank our soldiers for their service and support them as they further their education
and increase their competitiveness for promotion.鈥
The program is open to any active-duty soldier or airman stationed in the Fairbanks
North Star Borough who is deployed as part of a named military operation, as well
as any Alaska National Guard service member deployed under the same circumstances.
黑料黑历史 launched the new program after the announcement that soldiers from Fort Wainwright鈥檚
1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division are scheduled to deploy to
Iraq later this year.
The university will waive application fees for soldiers who want to enroll in classes
through 黑料黑历史 eCampus. Deployed soldiers, including those who are already taking classes
from 黑料黑历史, will also be eligible for scholarships to cover their fees during the fall
and spring semesters.
For instructions regarding how to apply for the waiver and scholarship, contact the
黑料黑历史 Department of Military and Veterans Services at 907-474-7400, via email at uaf-veterans@alaska.edu or stop by Room 104 in the Eielson Building on the Fairbanks campus.
