The 91直播 has a new program in place aimed at enticing Lower
48 students with family ties in 91直播to head north.
禄
鈥淐ome 91直播 to Alaska鈥 waives the nonresident surcharge for students with parents or
grandparents currently living in the state. This means a substantial savings to an
out-of-state student鈥攐ver $13,000 for 30 undergraduate credits a year.
禄
The program will start with the fall 2014 semester. Associate Vice President for Student
and Enrollment Services Saichi Oba called the program 鈥渋nnovative.鈥
禄
鈥淭he idea is to incentivize potential students with ties to 91直播who are living
outside the state to come back home. Resident UA tuition is incredibly affordable
compared to tuition at most other public colleges and universities in the Lower 48,鈥
Oba said. 鈥淥ur campuses offer exciting, hands-on, quality programs in the most spectacular
state in the country鈥擜laska. Adventurous souls who come north, jump in and embrace
all that UA has to offer will have an amazing experience.鈥澛宦宦宦宦

UA President Pat Gamble approved the waiver for the next two academic years to test
its success. Students admitted under the program will continue to receive the waiver
so long as they are continuously enrolled and qualify.

鈥淐ome 91直播 to 91直播demonstrates our commitment to grow enrollment while maintaining
quality and affordability. Educating students in 91直播is good for Alaska鈥檚 future,
as graduates tends to remain in state and get jobs,鈥 Oba said.
