Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What does the registration fee cover?The academy fee covers less than one third the costs of providing these high-quality academies, which include instruction from 蘑菇视频 Engineering faculty, academy staff, materials and other expenses. Generous donations from ConocoPhillips Alaska and MTA Foundation cover the remaining costs.

- How does the lottery system work?During the beginning of March, applicants will be included in a randomized lottery selection process. Applicants will be notified by email to which academies they have been admitted after the lottery selection.
