The award amounts for the class of 2019 during the 2023-2023 academic year are as follows:

• The Academic Award will be a $2,000 one-time payment.
• The my529 Award is a one-time payment of up to $300, subject to contributions to your my529 account.
• The Supplemental Award is a renewable award, subject to a student’s individual circumstances based on Expected Family Contribution as well as other state and federal aid the student is receiving. Your college will notify you of your eligibility for this award through your financial aid award information.

All students must enroll in, and complete, a minimum of 12 credits during the semester that they receive the Regents’ Scholarship. The eligible Utah college or university that you attend will communicate directly with the Regents’ Scholarship office to verify your enrollment. The Regents’ Scholarship will expire five years from the date of high school graduation regardless of receiving a deferment or a leave of absence.

Requirements for Supplemental Award Recipients 

Students who are found to be eligible for the Supplemental Award may use the scholarship for up to four semesters. Students are required to complete 12 credits each semester, maintaining a 3.0 semester GPA.

If you do not earn a 3.0 semester GPA you will be placed on probationary status; however, if you earn a semester GPA lower than a 3.0 for a second semester you will forfeit the scholarship. Students are still able to receive the Regents’ Scholarship while on probation.

The college you attend will automatically report enrollment and GPA information to the Regents’ Scholarship each semester. Students will not be required to turn in enrollment documentation to the Regents’ Scholarship to maintain their eligibility. Students who do not meet the eligibility requirements will forfeit their Regents’ Scholarship and may have to return the scholarship funds.

Students may transfer from one eligible Utah college to another. In order to transfer their remaining Supplemental Award, students must contact the Regents’ Scholarship office prior to the start of the semester at their new college. Students will also need to inform the college they are transferring from that they will no longer be enrolled at that school and contact the school they are transferring to informing them that they will be transferring and are a Regents’ Scholarship recipient.

Students who did not enroll in Fall Semester immediately after high school graduation, must obtain an approved deferment from an eligible Utah college.

For students who receive the Supplemental Award and will not continuously enroll in Fall and Spring (Winter for BYU and Ensign College) semesters, they must request a leave of absence from their college.

Each college sets their own deadlines and guidelines for requesting a deferment or leave of absence. You will need to work with the college to ensure you are meeting their requirements. Students who do not meet enrollment requirements and do not receive an approved deferment/leave of absence from their college will forfeit their eligibility to receive the Regents’ Scholarship.

If you file for a leave of absence or a deferment you are strongly encouraged to submit a Student Information Release Form to allow our office to release information to those you have authorized. This is helpful if someone is helping you manage your account. You are responsible for managing your account even while on a deferment or leave of absence. Be sure to check your account regularly or have an authorized person do it for you.
