About the Awards

At Regis University, our students search for meaning in all they do; are committed to environmental awareness; promote diversity and cultural traditions; and yearn for justice and the common good. Regardless of whether they are majoring in history and politics, or studying to become a computer scientist, they are asked to explore and absorb these values.

The Leadership full-tuition scholarship competition is an opportunity for prospective students (like yourself!) to tell us more about your passions as they relate to meaning, diversity, justice and/or environmental awareness. All majors with the exception of nursing may apply.

  • Two full-tuition scholarships will be awarded. 
  • In addition, two $6,000 and four $2,000 scholarships will be awarded and are stackable with merit awards.
  • The awards will be issued based on the essay, leadership information and results of the on-campus competition. 
  • These four-year awards are renewable based on maintenance of a 3.0 GPA.
  • The awards may be used toward an approved one-semester study abroad program.
