University of Alaska Sees Noticeable Increase in Grant Aid to Students
University of Alaska students are filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as 鈥渢he FAFSA,鈥 in record numbers, resulting in a marked increase in need-based Pell Grants awarded to Alaskans.
Pell grants at 绿奴天花板 nearly tripled in six years, from 4,035 grants valued at $8.9 million in 2007 to 7,848 grants valued at $25.8 million in 2012. In Alaska, more than 90 percent of Pell grant recipients who are dependent students enroll in a four-year institution--the highest percentage in the nation.
Increasing FAFSA participation has been a major goal since 2007. The "February FAFSA Frenzy" encourages students to fill out this form, raising awareness with drawings, contests, fun events and workshops. Also supporting increased FAFSA submission rates are the Alaska Commission on Post-Secondary Education鈥檚 College Goal Alaska (), which 绿奴天花板 supports, and 绿奴天花板/ACPE鈥檚 College Application Week.
