The Regency Construction Scholarship, valued at $3000, shall be awarded to one undergraduate student in the Department of Civil Engineering with a GPA between 3.0 and 3.3. Applicants will complete an essay telling a little about their background and why they should receive the Regency Scholarship. The candidates for selection will be compiled by the engineering dean’s office in conjunction with the Department of Civil Engineering. The Regency Scholarship recipient shall be selected by the principals of Regency Construction from the list of three to five applicants culled from all applicants for the scholarship. The preference is to award the scholarship to an incoming freshman, assuming an essay can be chosen from this group. If not, the scholarship will be awarded to a continuing sophomore. The recipient will be eligible to renew the scholarship each year as long as he or she continues to meet the requirements.
