Students at the University of Alaska Anchorage are eligible for a $1,000 award if they can demonstrate that they are \u201csignificantly contribute to enhancing diversity\u201d on campus.<\/h2>\n

To qualify for the $1,000 award, students must write an essay explaining how they \u201cadvance social justice and diversity within the larger community.\u201d According to the university\u2019s website<\/a>, the deadline for applying is Friday, December 8. Applicants also must maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA.<\/p>\n

Through three short essay questions, students must demonstrate that they \u201c[increase] visibility of diverse people, cultures, and\/or perspectives,\u201d \u201c[create] a welcoming environment,\u201d and or \u201c[represent] diverse student voices through advocacy and participation in UAA student organizations.\u201d Each of the short essays is only required to be 150 words long.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UAA Diversity Action Council will review applications and grant tuition of up to $1,000 to the top applicants,\u201d the website reads.\u201dStudents from the UAA Anchorage campus and community campuses are eligible. Award recipients must meet eligibility criteria including a 2.5 cumulative GPA, Satisfactory Academic Progress and admitted to a UAA certificate or degree program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo demographic is chosen over another for the award,\u201d David Thorn, the director of the university\u2019s multicultural center, told<\/a> Campus Reform, explaining that instead applicants are selected \u201cdependent on the quality of the application.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first instance in which a university has offered rewards to students to engage in progressive activism. Earlier this year, Case Western offered<\/a> students a $500 grant to attend a social justice conference. In September, Bryn Mawr College announced<\/a> that they would pay students an hourly wage to \u201ccelebrate diversity\u201d on campus.<\/p>\n

The University of Arizona announced<\/a> last year that they would pay students ten dollars per hour to be a university-sponsored \u201cSocial Justice Activist.\u201d Many took issue with the program\u2019s implementation at a state university due to the absence of a similar program offering for conservative and libertarian students interested in political activism.<\/p>\n
