Financial Aid Drawing
 When you're not working on your studies, be sure to start applying for financial aid! Not only will it help you next semester, but you could win some awesome prizes from us! Fill out financial aid applications for the fall semester, let your advisor know, and you'll be entered into our drawing! You'll get one entry per piece so the more you fill out, the higher your chances are of winning! Already filled out some financial aid? Meet up with your advisor and see if it qualifies. You could win one of three three-credit tuition waivers!

Dennis Demmert Award Nominations
 For 22 years, we've been presenting the Dennis Demmert Award to deserving staff and faculty members who have helped support Alaska Native Education. We need your input to keep it going! Do you know of an awesome staff or faculty member that you want to have recognized for supporting Alaska Native Students? Get your nomination form in for the Dennis Demmert Award! It's really quick and extremely easy to do. All you need is the person's name, department, and a brief message about why you're nominating them. Fill out the short form here by April 15th: http://www.uaf.edu/ruralss/dennis-demmert/ Please understand that because this award is offered through Rural Student Services, the RSS staff cannot be considered as award recipients! Recipients of this award will be recognized at a reception in the RSS Gathering Room on Thursday, April 21st at 1:00pm.

Springfest BBQ
 From April 21st to the 23rd, UAF will be celebrating Springfest! There will be tons of activities going on around the main campus. Keep your ears open for the awesome things to check out like the Mud Volleyball Tournament, Knocker Ball, the Watermelon Drop, and Lottanobooza! Also, on the 22nd, when you're enjoying that much needed day off from classes, be sure to stop by RSS at noon for our annual barbecue!

RSS Survey
 It's that time again! Every year, we ask you about how we're doing. We need your input so we can serve you better! In the past, we've used responses to add services like free coffee and change ones that aren't working out for you. Be sure to fill out our year-end survey and enter in the drawing for a chance to win a $50 gift card! You can fill out the survey in person when you stop by our office, or you can simply go to http://www.uaf.edu/ruralss/rss-survey/. It's completely anonymous, takes less than five minutes, and could mean even better services at RSS! We really appreciate your input!
