Student Clubs
Rural Student Services is connected to a diverse set of clubs. If you're looking to get out and start talking to people who share your interests, it's a great place to start! We've got clubs for Engineering, Science, Math, Education, Native Dance, Native Games, Social Work, Business, and Policy. To learn more about the different clubs we're affiliated with, you can visit our page at http://www.uaf.edu/ruralss/clubs/. We also have the opportunity to revive a couple of clubs that have fallen by the wayside over the last few years. We're in need of good, passionate leaders who are willing to reach out to their peers and get students excited in either Native Games or Troth Yeddha' (Athabascan) Dance Group. If you'd like to step up and make things happen, contact us!

UA Foundation Scholarships
 Wouldn't it be nice if you could fill out just one application and be considered for over $3 million in scholarships? The UA Foundation application does just that.

Permanent Fund Dividend
It's a new year and that means you have to get used to writing 2016 on documents instead of 2015. It also indicates that we're headed toward a new Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend dispersal! But, before you can take a bite out of that pie, you have to apply. It's easy to apply for the PFD using the State of Alaska website. Just click on this link http://www.pfd.alaska.gov/ and follow the prompts.
The deadline for applications is March 31st. Do it now so you don't forget!
