What is the difference between a Regents Scholar Diploma and the South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship?
The Regents Scholar Diploma has been awarded for many years by the state of South Dakota, based on criteria established by the South Dakota Board of Regents. It is a commemorative certificate issued by the Department of Education that says the student completed the Regents Scholar curriculum. A high school administrator submits a list of students who qualify and the Education Department issues the certificates, which are often handed out at high school graduation ceremonies or awards night. Regents Scholar Diplomas will continue to be processed by the South Dakota Department of Education. The South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship is a program that awards a $5,000 scholarship over four years to qualifying high school graduates, beginning with the Class of 2004, who complete the Regents Scholar curriculum and maintain certain academic standards. Eligibility is based on an application submitted to the South Dakota postsecondary institution by the student, along with an official high school
