Regis University Scholarships
At Regis University, we believe in investing in your future. That's why we offer a variety of scholarships to reward student’s academic performance, leadership potential and other factors. And the best part is that these scholarships are considered gifts and don’t need to be repaid!
Regis scholarships are awarded for the fall and spring semesters, for full-time students only. They can be combined with other types of financial aid, but will not exceed the total cost of tuition.
We encourage students to review the current scholarship options below.
Types of Scholarships
Merit Scholarships
Our most commonly awarded scholarships! Our Office of Admissions determines eligibility for these scholarships based on high school GPA and test scores (if applicable). All traditional students who apply to Regis University are automatically considered for a merit scholarship up to $30,000!
Stackable Scholarships
These scholarship opportunities are available to stack on top of your merit scholarship offered by Admissions. These stackable scholarships may be combined with your merit scholarship but may not in total exceed $36,000.
Catholic and Jesuit High School Scholarships: We offer special stackable scholarship awards to all graduates of Jesuit and Catholic high schools.
Dare to Reimagine: All admitted out-of-state students receive a stackable scholarship on top of the merit award offered by Admissions.
Denver Scholarship Foundation: All incoming students from Denver Public Schools receiving a Denver Scholarship Foundation scholarship will receive an additional scholarship stacked on top of their merit award offered by Admissions.

Visit Awards
Receive a one-time award of $500 for each of the unique admitted student events you attend, including Scholar Dinner, Money Matters, and Basecamp. Make sure you’ve applied and are admitted to Regis University to qualify for these stackable visit awards!
Please note that merit awards are based on the student profile at the time of admission to Regis University and may be based on residency status, high school attended or other criteria. The maximum merit and stackable award total for a student, including visit awards, is $36,000.
Private Scholarships
Students may find scholarships through outside databases including, but not limited to:
- fastweb.com
- scholarships.com
- finaid.org/scholarships
- bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/scholarship-search
- studentscholarships.org
How Private Scholarships May Affect Your Aid: Your financial aid eligibility is limited by your cost of attendance and/or your financial need. If you receive additional aid, such as a grant, scholarship or tuition benefit from outside of Regis University, we will first apply these funds to any unmet financial need, if applicable. However, if you have not applied for need-based aid, then these awards are applied to your account and are limited by your cost of attendance. If the private scholarship(s) causes you to go over your demonstrated financial need and/or cost of attendance, we may have to adjust your aid offer. We will reduce student loans first, then work-study, before reducing any Regis University scholarships or grants. In some cases, however, additional outside awards that must pay toward tuition charges may result in the reduction of a Regis University scholarship or grant.
If you receive an external scholarship, please send the scholarship check directly to:

Denver, CO 80221
Once processed, your scholarship will be added to your financial aid offer letter.
