Staff Alliance offers Summer 2026 semester fee support

February 20, 2026

The UA Staff Alliance is pleased once again to offer a class fee scholarship for UA classes taken by staff that directly support their career or professional development. The scholarship, good for the 2026 Summer Semester, is for up to $250 per employee.  This scholarship will only be applied to tuition fees in your student account. This will NOT apply to bookstore or parking fees.*

There are limited funds available. After the application period closes, if there are more applicants than funds available, recipients will be randomly selected from all eligible applications.  

Are you eligible:

  1. Must be a UA STAFF member.
    Temporary part-time employees, grad students, and student employees are NOT eligible.
  2. Tuition Fee support is exactly that - fee support for taking classes at UA. The goal is to help you advance in your professional career. 
  3. Recreational/personal/self-care classes are only allowed if they are used as an elective within a degree program. Must submit an unofficial transcript with RECR class registration.*

How to apply:
Submit a fee scholarship request here by May 1, 2026. Tuition waiver no longer necessary.*

Thank you to President Pitney and the UA Board of Regents for providing these funds and supporting professional development for staff.
