“Because of donor support, I’ve been able to take advantage of incredible programs and internship opportunities that are helping launch my career. For instance, through the Rollins Gateway program, I interned at Raftelis, where I gained valuable Excel and financial modeling skills.”

Rollins Valedictorian

“Rollins gave me the confidence, community, and curiosity to dream bigger than I ever thought possible. Thanks to the incredible liberal arts education I received, I feel fully prepared for my next steps to become a climate scientist."

Hayley Stoddard ’25

International Business

"I had so many opportunities through the connections that Rollins offers. I was able to travel abroad twice, interning in Ireland within the data field and improving my language skills in France. Being able to apply what I learned outside of the classroom was extremely beneficial and set me up for great success. Without the help of financial aid, I wouldn't have had the full experience that I had at Rollins, which allowed me to get my current position."

Psychology and Communication Studies

“Rollins offers a diverse, supportive environment that has allowed me to explore different art forms and practice using artistic communication to connect with others. Thanks to my experiences with Dr. Parsloe and other faculty mentors, I’m currently writing a play that teaches emotional regulation to children and their parents. Rollins is my home, and I’m so thankful to be surrounded by people from all walks of life—and from all over the world! The wholistic, hands-on experiences and the culture of global citizenship have helped provide me with the tools I need to make an immediate impact in my community and beyond.”

“I did not believe that attending Rollins was achievable for me, so when I received my acceptance and financial aid letter, my mother and I cried. As a first-generation college student from an immigrant family, my dream is to start a non-profit to bring higher-ed preparation to children in developing countries while also specializing in immigration law. My mother taught me to care for others, and that’s just what I plan to do.”
