Regis Access Advantage to Increase Opportunities for Pell-eligible Students to Pursue a College Degree
Regis College announces the launch of Regis Access Advantage, a new initiative to expand access to higher education for financially disadvantaged Catholic high school graduates. Beginning with the incoming Class of 2029, Pell Grant-eligible students who graduate from any Catholic high school in the United States, Puerto Rico, or U.S. territories and who apply and are accepted to Regis will be eligible for full tuition coverage at Regis College. No loans are included in covering the full cost of tuition. The program is an extension of the university’s longstanding commitment to promoting educational access and advancing its mission of service and inclusion.
The full tuition program builds on the College’s $4,000 Catholic High Schools Scholarship, which is awarded to all Catholic high school graduates who enroll at Regis. Both awards can be renewed each of the four years a student is enrolled at Regis.
“As Regis College was founded nearly a century ago to expand access to college degrees, Regis Access Advantage is a recommitment to our founding mission,” said President Antionette Hays, PhD, RN. “Escalating costs to earn an undergraduate degree have created insurmountable financial burdens for students and their families. The Regis Access Advantage full tuition program for Catholic high school graduates seeks to alleviate that burden and provide an affordable pathway for a student to pursue and earn an undergraduate college degree.”
Regis Access Advantage: How It Works
“As the university begins preparations to celebrate its 100th anniversary, Regis Access Advantage honors its founders, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, and reinforces our commitment to support Catholic and non-Catholic students with diverse backgrounds and needs,” added President Hays.
