Regis increases amount of guaranteed Catholic High School Graduate Scholarships
Regis College has increased its Catholic High School Graduate Scholarship to $20,000 over four years of college -- $5,000 for each year -- to provide additional financial aid to students who enroll at the university in fall 2023 and have graduated from a Catholic high school. Regis also offers competitive full-tuition scholarships to some Catholic high school graduates.
"Regis College is committed to increasing access to higher education opportunities for those with a dream to earn a college degree," said Regis College President Antoinette Hays, PhD, RN. "We are proud that 100 percent of our undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. This scholarship for Catholic high school students who enroll at Regis will help to defray tuition costs. The university will continue to explore and implement innovative ways so that additional students may experience Regis' close-knit, supportive community and develop a commitment to social justice and service."
Independent ranking organizations have recognized the academic value of Regis College. For example, U.S. News and World Report ranked Regis as a Best Regional University in the North for Social Mobility; Princeton Review named Regis to their 'Best Northeast Regional Colleges' List; and Nurse.org ranked Regis' renowned nursing program as one of the Top 10 in Massachusetts.
The university reports that 97 percent of its graduates are employed full-time or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation (five-year average) and 100 percent of students participate in an internship or clinical.
In addition to the Catholic High School Graduate Scholarship, which is automatically given to all students who have graduated from a Catholic high school, the university also offers the Presidential Catholic Schools Scholarships to some students. This is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship for Catholic high school graduates who attend Regis as residential students. Recipients of the Presidential Catholic Schools Scholarship are selected by the university's scholarship committee based on their academic achievement, leadership ability, and dedication to community service.
