阿拉斯加大学向1004名高三毕业生发出学者奖：每人15000美元、总承诺逾1500万美元，面向班级前10%学生
阿拉斯加大学11月11日宣布，已通过土地赠与信托基金（Land Grant Endowment Trust Fund）向2027届的1004名高三毕业生发出 UA 学者奖（UA Scholars Award），获奖者可凭该奖入读阿拉斯加大学系统内任一校区，每人奖额15000美元，总承诺超过1500万美元。
该奖表彰在毕业班成绩排名前10%的学生。今年的获奖者来自从 Akiachak 到 Yakutat 的近300所高中。UA 学者项目执行主任 Lael Oldmixon 表示，这是该奖的第28届获奖学生，校方期待在2027年秋季迎接他们入学。
UA 学者奖设立于1999年，旨在鼓励每个阿拉斯加社区的高中毕业生留在本州接受高等教育。资助资金来自阿拉斯加大学土地赠与信托基金，基金收益来自大学土地的出售与资源开发。
与多数奖学金不同，UA 学者奖允许学生以任何理由休学最多四个学期而不失去资助，学生还可以免费申请自己心仪的专业。Oldmixon 表示，入读后学生还可把奖金用于海外学习或全国学生交换项目，以州内学费探索外面的世界，并可与阿拉斯加绩效奖学金及其他资助叠加。
各地区将在未来数周举办庆祝活动，介绍阿拉斯加大学系统内的学术、研究与实习机会。2027届 UA 学者完整名单见 alaska.edu/scholars。
University of Alaska Offers the Scholars Award to 1,004 Graduating Seniors: 15,000 Dollars Each and a Total Commitment of More Than 15 Million Dollars for Students Ranked in the Top 10 Percent of Their Class
The University of Alaska has offered the 15,000-dollar UA Scholars Award to 1,004 graduating high school seniors from the Class of 2027, the university announced on November 11, 2026. The awards, made through the Land Grant Endowment Trust Fund for study at any campus in the University of Alaska system, amount to a total commitment of more than 15 million dollars and recognize students ranked in the top 10 percent of their graduating class.
This year's scholars represent nearly 300 high schools in communities from Akiachak to Yakutat. "We are excited to welcome and celebrate the 28th class of UA Scholars," said Lael Oldmixon, executive director of the UA Scholars Program.
Established in 1999, the UA Scholars Award is designed to encourage high school graduates from every Alaska community to pursue higher education in their home state. The Land Grant Endowment Trust Fund generates revenue from property sales and resource development on university lands.
Unlike most scholarships, the award allows students to take up to four semesters off for any reason without losing their funding, and students can apply to their preferred program free of charge. Once enrolled, scholars can use their funds for study abroad or National Student Exchange programs, and the award can be paired with the Alaska Performance Scholarship and other financial aid. Regional celebration events will take place in the coming weeks, and the complete list of the Class of 2027 UA Scholars is at alaska.edu/scholars.
