Rural Alaska Honors Institute
Raven says "RAHI is coming!"
Are you a junior or senior in high school? Do you have a GPA of 3.0 or higher? Do you want to earn between 7 and 11 college credits at UAF this summer? Want to experience college/dorm life with other high school students? Want it all for FREE (over a $6,000 scholarship!)?
Then RAHI is for you!
RAHI was started in 1983 at the suggestion of AFN, with the intent of helping rural Alaskan and Alaskan Native students have a successful transition from high school to college. If you are college-bound and driven to succeed and earn a college degree, this program was designed just for YOU!
So, why RAHI??
Academics
- At RAHI, you can earn UAF college credits that can help toward your degree, and could earn you high school credit.
- You will succeed in completing summer coursework in six weeks!
- You will gain experience of the college classroom environment and expectations that others will not yet have.
- Study in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Petroleum Engineering, Business, Math, and much more!
Dorm Life
- Lots of fun!
- Great study support - the group that studies together, succeeds together!
- Helpful dorm staff and tutors.
Social Life
Sure, it's a lot of work, but becoming a college student is part of it!

Funding UAF and RAHI, that's what!
As part of a recent $900,000 donation to UAF (to include RAHI, and bringing NYL's contributions to UAF to over 1.7 million dollars since 2007), they have funded the 30th Anniversary DVD project for RAHI, which we have already started to put together! The above video is actually some rough ground work done by student film maker (and RAHI assistant manager and instructor) Tim Murphrey.
