Student Scholar

Once a year, the Board of Regents of the Texas State University System distinguishes an exceptional student from a TSUS member institution by presenting them with the Regents' Scholar Award. Regents' Scholars are chosen by the chancellor on the basis of their outstanding academic accomplishments and scholarship, leadership abilities, and contributions to the institution and their community. Student Scholars receive a $2,500 scholarship and a framed resolution and medallion and are recognized at the Board of Regents meeting each November.
