I applied for Regents,

Now What?

Once all application materials have been received an initial review

of the application file is conducted.

There are two outcomes to the initial review, ineligible or on-track

to receive an award.

Students are then notified by mail of the status of their application.

This notification is sent no later than May 1.

If the student is "on-track" for the scholarship s/he receives addi-

tional instructions to submit documentation to verify all require-

ments were in fact met.

Those documents are due July 1. The results of the final review

are typically mailed 6 weeks after the receipt of the final docu-

ments.

scores and others have their own required placement tests.

ble and needed.
