If you are an undocumented student, DACA recipient or DREAMer, although you cannot complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), there are types of aid available for you! Make sure you connect with the Office of Admissions regarding all merit scholarship opportunities open to all students who apply to Regis University. The Office of Admissions may also give you contact information for other departments on campus that have merit scholarship opportunities for gifted students, such as Honors, Music and Athletics.
Undocumented students are encouraged to complete our internal ASSET Application to be considered for other sources of financial aid. This form is similar to the FAFSA and allows our office to review you and your parent(s) financial information to determine an institutional Student Aid Index (SAI) number.
After completing our Asset Application, please also make sure to submit our Colorado Residency Form, which can be found on our Forms and Publications page. Based on your ASSET application information and your residency status, we may be able to offer a Colorado Student Grant depending on your eligibility and funding availability. ASSET Application filers must make sure to renew their application annually by our March 1 priority financial aid filing deadline.
Please note: DACA/Asset students are not eligible for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend at Regis University. Per the state of Colorado guidelines, at a private institution, students must complete a FAFSA, receive a Federal Pell Grant, be a Colorado Resident, and have graduated from a Colorado High School to qualify for COF.
If you have a social security card for work authorization purposes, you could be eligible for a work-study award at Regis University. When you complete your Asset Application and submit it to the Office of Financial Aid, you will work with your financial aid counselor to ensure the work-study award is included as part of your financial aid offer.
Students may find scholarships through outside databases including, but not limited to:
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:
Regis University
Office of Student Accounts
3333 Regis Blvd. A-8
Denver, CO 80221
Once processed, your scholarship will be added to your financial aid offer letter.
