The starting point
Regent stacks an automatic GPA-based merit grid with an automatic test-score 'booster' grid (max $10,000/year combined), plus tuition-only National Merit, NCFCA, Honors, and niche awards — but caps all combined scholarships and grants at 100% of tuition.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 9 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Transfer Merit Scholarships
$2,500-$7,000 · Published range
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
GPA: Cumulative GPA at admission, tiered: Chancellors 3.75-4.0 ($7,000), Trustees 3.5-3.74 ($6,000), Presidents 3.0-3.49 ($5,000), Achievement 2.50-2.99 ($2,500)
Eligibility: Incoming transfer students; cumulative GPA includes all prior coursework at all institutions, formatted to a 4.0 scale
Renewal: Renewal terms specific to transfer merit are not stated on the transfer page; general merit renewal language on the freshman page requires minimum cumulative GPA and on-campus enrollment status.
Other terms: Page bases the award on cumulative GPA at the time of admission but does not explicitly state that it is awarded automatically with no application, so automaticOnStats is conservatively false. Updated test scores or GPAs received prior to July 1 can trigger re-evaluation via student-initiated appeal.
