Regents’ Scholarship


The Regents’ Scholarship encourages Utah high school students to prepare for college academically and financially by taking a core course of study and saving for college. The scholarship may be used at any public college or university in the Utah System of Higher Education, as well as at Brigham Young University-Provo, LDS Business College, and Westminster College.

The Regents’ Scholarship may continue to be refined and altered on an annual basis as result of legislation. Therefore, it is important that you use the website www.higheredutah.org as your resource for the most up-to-date information. Should you have questions regarding this program please call 801-321-7294.


INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS:


Each April we publish program information for the upcoming academic school year, as a prospective applicant, it is your responsibility to read and understand the requirements of the scholarship. If upon reading the information, you still have remaining questions you are encouraged to work with your guidance counselor or contact our office (see contact information below). Do not rely on past scholarship information or application packets or information as they are out-of-date.

  • 2011-2012 Regents’ Scholarship Program Information  This publication outlines the requirements for the scholarship, including the courses that will satisfy the scholarship requirements.

  • Concurrent Enrollment and Regents’ Scholarship  This document shows the current enrollment courses that are accepted for the Regents’ Scholarship.

  • Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

The application will become available on November 21, 2011. In preparation for submitting your application and to help you steer clear of the most common mistakes applicants make, consider the following:

  • First start by reading the program information. This will help you know which classes you need to take, as well as how the scholarship program works. A number of students do not take the time to read the instructions, rules and requirements of the scholarship which causes them to make mistakes in applying and qualifying for the scholarship.

  • Remember to meet all deadlines. You might be used to being able to turn in your homework late and just get a few points deducted. This is not the case with the Regents’ Scholarship. The deadlines are firm and must be met. So mark your calendars and make sure you plan ahead so you can meet the deadlines.

  • Be sure to submit all of the required documents. Many students forget to send in all of the required documents to have a complete application. One particular document that students forget to submit is the college transcript. You may have earned college credit through concurrent enrollment, early college, maybe you took a distance education course, or maybe you actually enrolled at the college and took college classes on your own. Regardless of how the college credit was earned, you will need to submit the college transcript showing completion of the course. (Hint: You can use the application checklist as a guide to know what you need to submit. The checklist will be provided to you as part of the application materials.)

INFORMATION FOR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS:


Students who qualify for the Exemplary Academic Achievement award are required to renew the scholarship each semester. Failure to do so will result in the loss of the scholarship. Below are the rules on how to renew the scholarship.

  • Rules for Renewing the Exemplary Academic Achievement Award

The award amounts for the 2011-2012 college academic year (Fall and Spring semesters or Fall and Winter if you are attending Brigham Young University) are as follows:

  • The Regents’ Scholarship Base award will be a $1,000 one-time payment;

  • The Regents’ Scholarship Exemplary Academic Achievement award will be a flat dollar amount of $1,250 per semester and is subject to the student renewing it each semester. The flat rate will be applied to all scholarship participants; and

  • The Regents’ Scholarship Utah Educational Savings Plan award is subject to contributions to your UESP trust account and is a one-time payment (maximum of $400).

The award amounts are determined on an annual basis and are subject to legislative funding and the total number of qualified participants. Therefore, award amounts may be reduced, may vary from year to year, and are dependent on when the recipient is enrolled in college. Funding levels beyond Spring of 2012 are unknown and the award amounts will be determined in April of each year. However, the maximum Regents’ Scholarship Exemplary Academic Achievement award amount that a student may receive is $1,250 per semester.

FORMS:


  • Application for Leave of Absence (This form should be used by students who have been awarded and have used the scholarship for one or more semesters.)

  • Regents’ Scholarship Student Information Release Form

  • Regents’ Scholarship Appeal Form (An appeal may be filed once a student receives a letter notifying him/her of the status of their application or in reference to their continued eligibility as an award recipient.)
