Regents Scholarships
The Regents Scholars Program is the most prestigious scholarship awarded by the University System of Maryland. The Gross, Kelly, and Weinberg scholarships cover the entire cost of in-state tuition, mandatory fees, on-campus room and board as well as providing a stipend to defray other academic expenses. Generally, they award 3 Regents for full-time students and one Regents for a part-time student and up to five partial transfer scholarships for all Maryland Community College transfer students. Early College Students apply as Freshmen to Maryland state institutions, so they are not eligible for this scholarship.
Regents Scholars are selected on the basis of demonstrated academic ability. Strong motivation, exceptional character and a record of extracurricular accomplishments are also factors in the selection process. Preference will be given to Maryland residents (both U.S. citizens and permanent residents). The deadline to submit Regents Scholarship Application Packet to your MC campus representative is on May 3, 2023.
Program guidelines and eligibility requirements can be found in the FAQ (PDF, 
) . There are three application forms, students may apply for more than one of these
scholarships but can submit one set of required documents as well as application forms
for all the scholarships for which they want to be considered.
