Rollins has been named to Money.com’s list of the nation’s best colleges for merit aid, ranking in the top 50 for access to merit-based financial aid.
The 50 colleges on the list award merit aid to at least one in four students, and their average award covers at least 25 percent of the tuition price.
“We extend merit-based financial aid to enable bright and promising students to join our community of learners,” says President Grant Cornwell, “and it is deeply gratifying to see these students develop and thrive at Rollins.”
Rollins offers a multitude of partial merit scholarships that range from $10,000 to $30,000, and since 2005, the College has awarded more than $16 million through the Alfond Scholars Program.
Money.com ranked the colleges by a combination of overall quality, average merit grant, and share of students who receive merit grants.
