URSA's 2024 Innovative Technology and Education Awards offer up to $5,000 to support purchases of technology-related equipment, or software to be used in student-based instruction and/or research or project work. Funds for these awards come from a percentage of student fees.

Who may apply? Degree-seeking Undergraduate and Graduate Students, Fulltime Faculty, and Staff from all disciplines and ²ÝÁñÉçÇø campuses. (²ÝÁñÉçÇø Campuses Include: Bristol Bay, Chukchi, CTC, Troth Yeddha’, Interior ²ÝÁñÉçÇø, Kuskokwim, Northwest)

Awarded funds must be spent by June 1, 2024 (prior to the fiscal year end).

ITE funds may be awarded in addition to other URSA awards in any given academic year. ITE awardees may only receive an URSA ITE award two out of every three years. This policy allows for a greater number of students to receive awards with limited URSA funds.

Applications accepted Feb. 5 - March 10, 2024 (by 11:59 p.m.)
