The University of Nebraska at Kearney today announced the names of Regents Scholarship recipients for the 2004-2005 entering class.

According to Mary Sommers, UNK director of Financial Aid, the Regents Scholarship is the highest academic award for entering freshmen. To qualify, recipients must have at least a 26 composite on the ACT and be ranked in the top 25 percent of their high school graduating class.

The scholarship provides a full waiver of tuition for up to 135 credit hours, an estimated value of more than $15,000, Sommers said.
