Scholarships and Bursaries
Regent College offers a number of scholarships and bursaries to help students offset the costs of their education. Please note that most of the scholarships, awards, and bursaries offered through Regent College require an application—only the Scholarships for American Students are awarded automatically.
There are two types of applications that we use to provide financial aid to students.
- The Bursary and Scholarship Application Form is for everyone who would like to be considered for financial aid. You only need to complete this form once, even if you're applying for multiple scholarships.
- The List of Scholarships and Bursaries is a supplement to the Bursary and Scholarship Application Form. It allows you to select specific awards that you may qualify for.

Bursary Program
Application Deadlines
Bursaries are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and are subject to availability after these dates.

Winter Term: August 1
Qualifications
Financial need. You must complete a minimum of 9 on-campus credits per term (distance education credits do not qualify).
Benefit
Typically between $1,000 and $2,700. The amount of support that students receive each year may increase or decrease depending on available funds and the number of bursary applicants.
Description
Bursary grants are awarded to students on the basis of demonstrated, reasonable financial need. New and returning students are encouraged to apply, regardless of nationality. Bursary grants are not intended to cover the students’ complete educational cost, but to supplement their own resources. You should be able to demonstrate that you have planned well for financing your education and for ensuring a reasonable standard of living. These grants are for tuition only and will be credited directly to the your account, half in the Fall Term and half in the Winter Term. You are responsible for all additional expenses such as remaining tuition and fees, books, travel, and living expenses. An application for financial aid must be made each year since bursary awards are not automatically renewed.
