New legislation passed during the 2021 session created a simplified, statewide, achievement-based scholarship—the Opportunity Scholarship. The Opportunity Scholarship will be available to students beginning with the high school graduating class of 2022.
There are separate applications for 2022 graduates who meet the Regents’ Track requirements and those who meet the Advanced Course Track requirements. Links are available at: https://ushe.edu/state-scholarships-aid/opportunity-scholarship/
Both applications opened on November 15, 2021.
The priority deadline is December 3, 2021.
The final deadline is February 1, 2022.
All students are encouraged to meet the priority deadline.
All students who qualify for the Opportunity Scholarship (under the Regents’ and Advanced Course Tracks) will be given the same award consideration and maximum award amount.
Apply via the Regents’ track, create an account, submit the online application, and supporting documents here.
