Berkeley’s website publishes their Regents scholarship terms & conditions for both in-state and out-of-state.
The OOS version is here: http://financialaid.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/docs/forms/RC_Terms_Conditions_OOS_2017-18.pdf.
Does UCLA have a similar document available with the terms & conditions of their scholarship? Just curious to see what the differences are.
This is from the UCLA website:
The difference for OOS vs in-state recipients is that you would not be eligible for need-based funding from the Cal Grants which is supplemental to the Honorarium of $2000/year if financial need is noted.
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.
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.
The UCLA Regents Scholarship program is unique to the UCLA campus, therefore, the award cannot be transferred to other UC campuses, nor could other UC campus Regents Scholarship awards be honored at UCLA. Selection of the Regents Scholars is completed by each campus individually.
Students who are determined by Undergraduate Admission to be the strongest applicants within the context of UCLA’s holistic review process are invited to apply by Faculty Committee on Honors, Awards and prizes and the Financial Aid and Scholarships office to compete for the UCLA Regents Scholarship.
Entering freshmen are awarded a four-year scholarship (12 straight academic quarters not including summer).
Entering transfer students are awarded a two-year scholarship (6 academic quarters not including summer).
All Regents Scholars are considered for a $2,000 honorarium regardless of financial need.
If a Regents Scholar has additional financial need beyond the $2,000 honorarium, the scholar will be awarded university scholarship and/or grants to cover the remainder of the scholar’s need.
The Regents Scholarship need-based award is determined annually and is designed to supplement the Cal Grant A and B programs, Pell Grant award and other outside scholarship awards.
Regents Scholars are required to report additional outside financial assistance and/or outside scholarships awards to the Financial Aid and Scholarships office.
Scholars must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA during all quarters of attendance and are required to enroll in a minimum of 12 units per quarter.
Students must notify the Scholarship coordinator of any change in academic status, such as taking less than the required 12 units per quarter, dropping below a 3.0 or if they are planning to take an approved leave of absence. Taking a quarter off will not extend the award past your tenure.
The Scholarship coordinator performs an annual academic review at the end of the Spring quarter of all scholars. Students that do not adhere to the scholarship requirements will be terminated and possibly billed for scholarship received.
Students receive preferential Pre-Enrollment starting with their second and subsequent quarters, guaranteed Housing (as long as the Housing application is submitted by the Housing Office deadlines), guaranteed parking (as long as the Parking application is submitted by the Parking Office deadlines), and Faculty Mentorship is established by the Regents Scholars Society to each and every Regents Scholar, as requested.
All Regents Scholars are eligible to join the Regents Scholar Society and are strongly encouraged to establish membership in this official campus student organization.
The UCB main website has similar information.
But only in the terms and conditions pdf do they say that the nonresidential supplemental tuition is waived for OOS. Nothing like that for UCLA?
The difference between $2,000/yr and $28,000/yr would be rather significant for those candidates, I would think.
Does anyone know when UCLA regents nominations will come out?
Each school has its own funding, so they have their own definitions of who gets what.
If you are OOS, you need to assume that you will be paying full fees. These schools are publicly funded and have more than enough qualified in-state applicants who meet the Regents requirements for the UC’s. There is political pressure to admit local and instate residents, so funding would naturally go to those applicants first.
