Regents Scholarship: How Much Money?

D was also accepted with Regents and CHP. In the list of benefits associated with the Regents program, there is another section entitled “Additional Scholarship Funds”, with the following information: “Regents’ Scholars who have financial need, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), will receive additional scholarship funds to replace work or loan funds that would normally be offered to cover the need of resident students. The amount of the scholarship will be determined annually and will not exceed a maximum figure set each year by the University. To qualify for the need-based scholarship the scholar must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit all documents requested by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships by the published deadlines. Those who do not apply for financial aid will be considered for the honorarium only.”

Has this been a benefit in years past? I am thinking that instead of giving a flat $9,000 to each scholar, they are doing away with loans and work study for those Regent Scholars with financial need.
