Appropriations Priorities
The University of Alaska (UA) system is committed to excellence in education, research, and public service. In delivering on that three-part mission, the Board of Regents is focused on increasing educational attainment, advancing economic development, providing a highly skilled workforce, growing our world class research, and doing all of it in a more cost-effective manner.
The UA system submits appropriations requests (a.k.a. earmarks, plus ups and programmatic requests) to Alaska's Members of Congress in an effort to secure federal funds to support our three-part mission. On this page you will find information on how the UA system is currently managing appropriations requests and links to prior years appropriations requests made to Alaska's Members of Congress.
