2If a student is eligible for more than one of our award options, we can only offer one. While our aid options are not "stackable", we will offer the student the largest single award pending availability of funds. The only exceptions to this rule are the Church Match Grant and the Carson Scholarship Match. Along with emphasizing the importance of filling out your FAFSA and seeking multiple sources for aid, the Church Match Grant is an option every student should seek out. More information on that grant can be found when you select your degree type and major above.
School of Communication & the Arts Undergraduate Scholarships
Students enrolling in majors offered jointly through the School of Communication & the Arts (Theater, Animation, Cinema/TV) are eligible to apply for Regent's Communication & the Arts Undergraduate Scholarships. Students are encouraged to apply early as funding is very limited. FAFSA must be filled out to be eligible for any aid. Due to limited resources, students can qualify for only one award type per year with the exception of the Church Match Grant. Each award has certain minimum GPA requirements to qualify as well as a certain minimum requirement to maintain it. Most awards require full-time status. Students are required to reapply each year.
Students are also encouraged to plan ahead for third-party scholarships since deadlines tend to be early.
The School of Communication & the Arts reserves the right to change or alter any scholarship, discount or award requirements, deadlines, or amounts.
* Only high academic achieving current students are eligible through committee selection
