Talk to me about Regents for transfer students

Regents is handled differently at each school.

Some like UCLA and UC Davis invite you to apply.

UC Berkeley conducts interviews for potential Regent scholars and if selected, you are notified with an early admission.

For the rest of the UC’s, it is automatic upon acceptance.

Regent scholars are selected from the top 1-2% of applicants and reviewed holistically so depending upon how each UC determines the scholars, there may be no finalist just winners.

I cannot comment on the reasoning behind the $$ amounts for the scholarships other than the top UC’s do not need to attract top student applicants with merit aid.
