DEADLINE TO APPLY: JANUARY 30, 2026
The Regent’s Tuition Scholarship is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship awarded to one first-time freshmen student each year based on superior academic performance and leadership/extracurricular experience, two references, and a written essay. Eligible students must meet the following criteria at the time the application is submitted:
- Minimum 3.5 High School GPA
- Optional: ACT/SAT score will be considered if you have one, but will not be required for the 2025 selection process.
- The top 10 finalists will be asked to provide a 2-3-minute video to aid in the selection process. A specific video prompt will be provided to the top 10 finalists.
- Basic guidelines will include a three-minute max time limit, the video can be recorded on a cell phone or webcam (camera quality will not be considered), and the video must be recorded in a single, continuous shot and should not be edited. We want to ensure a level playing field between students who have access to equipment and technology and those who may not.
The scholarship recipient must be accepted to North Central University in order to receive the scholarship.
In addition, the recipient must enroll in the Fall 2026 semester or the scholarship will be forfeited.
