FAQFinancial Information
Financial aid is available to students at Regent University in many forms including scholarships, grants, tuition discounts and loans. Students are encouraged to review each of the links below and then contact your financial aid advisor to discuss the options that might be best suited to you. Remember: scholarships, grants and discounts are monies that do not have to be paid back and are most often applied directly toward a student's tuition. Eligibility and award amounts will vary based on the criteria of each award.
Financial Aid Counselors are available to discuss answers to your college financing questions.
