About the Program
The Regents Business Partnership Excellence Award is designed to highlight successful partnerships between business and community partners.

- The tuition of an employee of the business being recognized.
- A paid internship for a current student of the institution to work at the business being recognized.
- A faculty externship with the business being recognized.
- Enhancement of the partnership with additional equipment, materials or supplies.
Submissions are provided by the institutions and reviewed by a committee of State Regents’ staff. All honorees are celebrated at an annual ceremony.
