Staff Alliance offers Summer 2026 semester fee support

February 20, 2026

The »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵStaff 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.

Are you eligible:

  1. Must be a »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵSTAFF 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:
