University of Alaska Fairbanks
The University of Alaska Fairbanks "Increased broadband and IT careers for low-income rural Alaska Native and minority students" project will address unreliable internet issues at rural Alaska campuses and benefit rural low-income minority students. The proposed project will impact postsecondary success by strengthening the educational capacity of the rural campuses, supporting new technical programs for rural low-income minority students, and supporting faculty and staff by the increased broadband capacity. The resulting investments will strengthen the entire University of Alaska as an institution.
