Regis University Scholarships

At Regis University, we believe in investing in your future. That's why we offer a variety of scholarships to reward your academic performance, leadership potential and other factors. And the best part is that these scholarships don’t need to be repaid! 

Regis scholarships are awarded for the fall and spring semesters, for full-time students only. They can be combined with other types of financial aid, but will not exceed the total cost of tuition.

We encourage you to review the current scholarship options below.


Types of Scholarships

Merit Scholarships

Our most commonly awarded scholarships! Our Office of Admissions determines eligibility for these scholarships based on high school GPA and test scores (if applicable). All first-year, on-campus students who apply to Regis University are automatically considered for a merit scholarship of up to $30,000!

Stackable Scholarships

These scholarship opportunities are available to stack on top of your merit scholarship offered by Admissions. These stackable scholarships may be combined with your merit scholarship, but may not in total exceed tuition.

Catholic and Jesuit High School Scholarships: We offer special stackable scholarship awards to all graduates of Jesuit and Catholic high schools.

Dare to Reimagine: All admitted out-of-state students receive a stackable scholarship on top of the merit award offered by Admissions.

Sibling Grant: For students with siblings who are simultaneously enrolled in a traditional undergraduate or graduate program. Both siblings may qualify if both are in a traditional undergraduate program. Graduate students are not eligible for the sibling grant.

Endowed Scholarships

Regis is proud to offer a variety of endowed scholarship opportunities to support incoming undergraduate students. These scholarships are designed to recognize exceptional academic achievement, community service and leadership, and to support students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Endowed scholarships, such as the McCormick, Irish Community and Collins Scholarships, provide vital financial assistance to students pursuing their educational and career goals at Regis University.

Visit Awards

Receive a one-time award of $500 for in-state students or $1,000 for out-of-state students for each of the unique admitted student events you attend. Eligible events include the Scholar Dinner Series, Money Matters, and Future Ranger Days. Each individual may receive up to $2,000 in Visit Awards. Make sure you’ve applied and are admitted to Regis University to qualify for these stackable visit awards!

Please note that merit awards are based on your student profile at the time of admission to Regis University and may be based on residency status or other criteria. The maximum merit and stackable award total cannot exceed tuition. These are one-time awards and may not be renewed or deferred for a future start year.

Private Scholarships

Students may find scholarships through outside databases including, but not limited to:

How Private Scholarships May Affect Your Aid: Your financial aid eligibility is limited by your cost of attendance and/or your financial need. If you receive additional aid, such as a grant, scholarship or tuition benefit from outside of Regis University, we will first apply these funds to any unmet financial need, if applicable. However, if you have not applied for need-based aid, then these awards are applied to your account and are limited by your cost of attendance. If the private scholarship(s) causes you to go over your demonstrated financial need and/or cost of attendance, we may have to adjust your aid offer. We will reduce student loans first, then work-study, before reducing any Regis University scholarships or grants. In some cases, however, additional outside awards that must pay toward tuition charges may result in the reduction of a Regis University scholarship or grant.
