<p>The Regents Scholarship Program was established by the Regents of the University of California in 1962, and represents one of the highest honors awarded to a student at the University. Regents scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of demonstrated academic excellence, leadership and exceptional promise. Although the Financial Aid Office administers the Regents Scholarship Program on the UCLA campus, financial need is not used as a criteria in the selection process.</p>

<p>UCLA awards up to 100 Regents scholarships each year to entering and transfer students and currently has a total of 450 Regents scholars enrolled at UCLA.</p>

<p>Thank you sir</p>
