Your GPA, SAT & GRE scores may change and noone cares about them later but the scholarship is to stay forever.

See, the difference there is that your SAT, GPA, and GRE scores all help you get into college/grad school, while regents, while being free money, doesn’t help you at all. In fact, I think being valedictorian or getting perfect SAT/GRE scores looks much better on a biography, as that is something everybody can relate to, not a scholarship that most people haven’t even heard of.

No employer/grad school is going to care about regents because it reflects on your achievements in high school.

It’s not like you expect your high school class rank or SAT IIs to help you get to med school or wall street.
