The William J. Dooner Scholarship was established to assist Regent University students who have a Roman Catholic background in meeting the cost of their education. Recipients are selected on the extent of their involvement in the Roman Catholic Church and their academic performance, although preference is given to those candidates currently active in the Roman Catholic Church. The scholarship is 50 percent of tuition costs. Applicants must be accepted for admission to Regent by the deadline. Applications submitted by prospective students who have not been accepted for admission by the deadline will not be considered. Students must reapply each year. Previous recipients are not guaranteed renewal. Students may visit the scholarship website or contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
