Regent University Donor Funded Scholarships

The Azusa Street Scholarship fund was established to commemorate the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles, California from 1906-1909. The leading figure in the revival was the Reverend William J. Seymour, an African-American Baptist minister. These scholarships are specifically designated for those who are called to serve the African-American community in the United States. The scholarship is 100% of tuition costs, plus a book stipend of up to $300 per term.

The Chancellor, Dr. Pat Robertson, in memory of the late Fred W. Beazley, established the Beazley Scholarship fund in April 1984. Mr. Beazley was a leading businessman in the Tidewater area and significant supporter of Dr. Robertson’s early ministry. The scholarship criteria emphasize academic merit and residency history. First consideration is given to applicants from the Tidewater region of Virginia who have excellent academic histories, and otherwise meet the criteria. However, students with excellent academic histories not from the Tidewater region of Virginia are also encouraged to apply in the event there are not enough suitable applicants from Tidewater for the award. The scholarship is 100% of tuition costs, plus a book stipend of up to $300 per term.

The scholarship is 50% of tuition costs.

Friends of the University, in memory of Luther J. Stallings, Jr. and Elizabeth A. Stallings, generously fund this scholarship with annual donations.

Virginia domiciliary residence is preferred for at least half of the scholarships awarded. There is also intent to provide at least one of the awards to an international student. Need is a consideration, as derived from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The dollar amount of the awards is limited and varies each year depending upon the availability of funds.
