The Utah State Board of Regents administers two scholarship programs: The New Century Scholarship and Regents’ Scholarship. For specific information regarding each of the scholarships please click on the scholarship programs listed below.
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 New Century Scholarship award and Regents’ Scholarship Exemplary Academic Achievement award will be a flat dollar amount of $1250 per semester and is subject to the student renewing it each semester and 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 $100 for each year in high school or $400 total).
The awards 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 New Century award and the Regents’ Scholarship Exemplary Academic Achievement award amount that a student may receive is $1250 per semester.
These scholarships may continue to be refined and altered on an annual basis as result of legislation. Therefore, it is important that you use this website as your resource for the most up-to-date information. (Do not rely on past scholarship information or application packets as they are out-of-date.)
