Does anything besides a course taken in high school satisfy the Regents Scholar curriculum?
Yes, in limited circumstances. The approved curriculum generally refers to high school courses taken in grades 9-12. However, accelerated or honors mathematic courses in the 8th grade, i.e. 8th algebra, may be accepted. If such 8th grade courses are completed, the high school must include those courses on the student’s high school transcript. It is important to remember that eligibility for a South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship is based on review of the official high school transcript.
