Pre-College Preparation for High School Students

ANSEP Pre-College Program

National Ocean Sciences Bowl

Each winter, Alaska holds a regional ocean sciences competition as part of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. In the past, the Alaska regional NOSB has consisted of a jeopardy-style quiz and a research project, each of which counted 50 percent toward the winning score. New in 2007 is the quiz-only competition, in which teams of four students each compete against each other in a timed quiz. The winning team competes against other regional teams from across the United States.

Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI)

The Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI) 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 wiling 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 be committed to earning a college degree.
