University of Alaska reports $86.2M in frozen federal grants restored

Officials with the University of Alaska report more than $86 million in federal grants that were frozen or delayed by the Trump administration have been restored. The update was provided to the University of Alaska Board of Regents at their quarterly board meeting on Friday by Shelby Beck, assistant director of federal relations for the university. The funds restored spanned 29 federal grants, totaling $86.2 million. “Our office is pleased to formally report to the board that the University of Alaska system no longer has any frozen or delayed federal grants,” Beck said. But another 32 federal grants with remaining balances of $16.7 million have been terminated since 2025, she said. “We recognize the pain these terminations have caused, and while the odds are not great, we will continue to look for opportunities to restore terminated grants,” Beck added.
