FAQScholars Weekend
Your Chance to Compete for Full Tuition Scholarships
You've studied hard and excelled in high school. Now's the time to plan your future. Regent University School of Undergraduate Studies is proud to invite you to apply for a spot at our seventh annual Scholars Weekend competition, February 16-18, 2012.
If you are accepted, you will have an opportunity to compete for one of several available full-tuition scholarships* as well as check out our academic programs, campus and faculty by being our guest here on-campus for an entire weekend. You and your parent or guardian will enjoy staying at the well-renowned hotel on campus, The Founders Inn and Spa.
In order to participate in Scholars Weekend, you must be considered a high school senior as of September 1, 2011 and have been accepted for admission for Fall 2012 by January 6, 2012. While admissions acceptance is required in order to apply for Scholars Weekend, it does not obligate the applicant to attend Regent University. The Scholars Weekend competition application is a separate application process, which includes evaluating your ACT or SAT score, official high school transcripts, GPA, and written essay. This scholarship application is due by January 6, 2012. Additionally, for those applicants invited to attend Scholars Weekend based on their application, an interview with a panel of our distinguished faculty will occur once on campus.
Several full-tuition scholarships* and partial scholarships will be awarded during each weekend.
Apply today to secure your place. While we encourage all high school students to apply, only a select few of the applicants will be invited to this exclusive event.

*Scholarships cover full tuition costs for a maximum of 4 years. Books, fees, room and board are not covered.
