About

A Day to Dream. A Lifetime to Achieve.

Your support for financial aid transforms dreams into reality for students who might not otherwise have access to a Rollins education. Every gift helps open doors to new opportunities, empowering Tars to pursue their passions and achieve their goals.

This year, the Rollins Student Government Association (SGA) is joining the effort to inspire our community to give. Dedicated to ensuring that no student is held back due to financial barriers, SGA is championing the Financial Aid Challenge as their signature initiative for Giving Day. With over 91% of Rollins students relying on financial aid, your generosity plays a critical role in shaping their success.

If 100 donors give to Financial Aid, Trustee Carroll Hanley '85 and David '83 Goggin P'15 will donate $10,000 to Rollins Annual Fund: Financial Aid!

Together, we can ensure that financial aid continues to make a Rollins education possible for all who dream of it.
