Be the reason Rollins students achieve their dreams and transform our world.
It's up to YOU!
You can choose how your gift supports Rollins. You can give to a specific program or you can support our most urgent needs through giving to the Rollins Annual Fund. Learn about all the areas you can directly impact.
Rollins Annual Fund
By giving to the Rollins Annual Fund, you ensure our greatest and most immediate needs are being met. This fund is an unrestricted giving pathway, providing immediate financial aid to current students. Rollins Annual Fund also keeps us innovative and nimble in a constantly changing landscape by allowing for investment in the latest strategies, programs, and technologies to enhance the student experience.
Here are the invaluable initiatives Rollins Annual Fund supports.
Area of Greatest Need
By designating your contribution to the College's area of greatest need, you grant Rollins the flexibility to use your gift the moment it is received. A gift to this general designation will impact the following areas: financial aid, library resources, study abroad opportunities, laboratory equipment, collaborative research, classroom technology, undergraduate education and life, career services, student success initiatives, student advising, and campus maintenance.
Financial Aid
By designating your gift towards financial aid, you are providing the transformative power of a Rollins education to a deserving student. The upcoming generation will become the leaders and influencers within our own communities and beyond. Ensuring these students have access to a Rollins experience is a powerful way to impact the future.
The Crummer Fund
A gift to The Crummer Fund supports current and future business leaders learning a practical and ethical approach to business management and leadership. Your contribution will support the areas of greatest need for Crummer, including programming and student scholarships.
The Holt Fund
Your annual gift to the Hamilton Holt School of Professional Advancement and Graduate Studies helps adult learners from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds access a transformative liberal arts education. The area of greatest need at the Hamilton Holt School supports the amount of scholarship assistance available to incoming and returning students. Your contribution will help make the dream of a college education a reality for students who will go on to make a difference in their businesses and communities.
Athletics
Contributions can be allocated to the general Athletic Fund or you can select a specific sport. All gifts underwrite scholarships for student-athletes, team travel, and equipment needs. When alumni and fans join together and give back to athletics, the Tars move forward!
Rollins Museum of Art
Your gift to the museum supports the only teaching museum in Central Florida. Your gift will support new exhibitions, educational programs, learning events, and more.
The Future of Rollins: Our Endowment
Behind every prosperous college is a healthy, successful endowment.
Much like investing in a portfolio created by donations, a contribution to the endowment is a lasting gift for Rollins’ future. That's because a healthy endowment eases the College's financial burden during challenging times and allows Rollins to prosper even more during fortunate times. To preserve the endowment, Rollins manages investments responsibly and uses the annual interest from the account to fund scholarships, programs, and initiatives aligned with our mission and donor specifications.
An endowed gift benefits:
Scholarships
Faculty Chairs
Student-Faculty Collaborative Scholarship
Curricular Innovation
Lifelong Career Services
Community Engagement
Study Abroad
Athletics
