Ansep acceleration academy for high school students

The University of Alaska Anchorage will provide an Acceleration Academy for high school students through a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2022 under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) program and will support project activities through August 31, 2025.

As the prime awardee, UAA will deliver an academy program designed to improve postsecondary opportunities for Alaska high school students. The FIPSE program aims to support innovative strategies that enhance postsecondary instruction and quality. This particular award furthers those goals through direct funding of UAA's acceleration activities for Anchorage-area high schoolers. The University of Alaska Systems is identified as UAA's parent organization overseeing administration of these FIPSE-funded academic acceleration services.
