Visit the Alaska CASC website for additional details about the program.

The Alaska CASC is awarding scholarships for students to participate in the new University of Alaska Fairbanks' (UAF) Climate Scholar Program. This program provides undergraduate students at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with the opportunity to work with scientists and other experts to study climate change in Alaska. Scholars will study on the front lines of climate change outside of the classroom, where the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Experts on permafrost, glaciers, sea ice and more will lead scholars through work in Arctic biology, engineering, geophysics, supercomputing and Alaska Native studies. This valuable experience prepares students for careers in climate change, which are some of the fastest-growing career fields. Participants will make an impact locally and globally by focusing on actionable science and community engagement. Current bachelor’s degree-seeking students from any major can apply to the program online. Applications will be reviewed and accepted on an ongoing basis. More details about the scholarship program with the Alaska CASC are to follow.
