The Rural Alaska Honors Institute is a bridging program that assists students in Rural Alaska in making the academic and social transition between high school and college.RAHI is for college-bound students who are willing to work hard and who are dedicated to excellence.

RAHI was organized by the University of Alaska Fairbanks to serve rural and Alaska Native high school honors students. Those who apply should have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA and plan to have finished their junior or senior year. They should read at or above grade level and committed to earning a college degree.

UAF courses are offered for full university credit (7 to 11). Most credits earned apply toward requirements for an academic degree. Completion of all RAHI courses (whether developmental or regular courses) help move the student closer to an academic degree. Required courses are writing (the student is placed in one of two offered) and study skills.
