Regent University

  • Private

Regent University: international tuition 21,990 USD per year, one-year total cost ≈ 32,838 USD, acceptance rate 38.1%. Need-based aid is open to international students. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 7, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo 115.

First-year international undergraduates can be considered for need-based aid (Regent Gap Guarantee Grant) through the VASA form, though Regent says aid is not guaranteed. The pages do not clearly confirm whether international students are considered for merit scholarships.

Getting in. The school admits 52.2% of applicants (3,207 of 6,140). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 530–650, Math 460–600, ACT 19–26. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for IELTS 7+, TOEFL iBT 90+ or Duolingo 115+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to about 32,838 USD, before any scholarship. 9 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. According to the Common Data Set 2024-2025, 19 international students got financial aid, 8,323 USD each on average.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/8. You apply through Apply Online. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearFreshman merit is decided automatically from admissions data, but the pages do not say this applies to international students, so no conclusion is possible.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe page only says proof of finances is needed before an I-20 is issued. It does not say whether admission ignores international applicants' ability to pay (need-blind), so this is Unclear.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?YesInternational students admitted to the on-campus traditional undergraduate program must complete the Virginia VASA form so Regent can assess need-based aid. CSS Profile is not mentioned.
