What is ASRA?
The Alaska Summer Research Academy (ASRA) is an intensive, two-week learning experience for students with an interest in science, technology, engineering and math. Students study one subject (module) and work in small teams participating in project based learning in a college-like environment.
Module sizes are small with an average of eight students and two instructors. Our instructors are faculty, graduate students and industry professionals. There are no grades, tests or homework. Modules are designed to be fun and engaging while offering challenging content.
In its 12th year, admission to ASRA is competitive. Students who apply must complete an essay, provide references and show evidence of sincere interest in participation. We have more interested and qualified applicants from throughout Alaska and around the United States than we can accommodate.
