YOUR CHOICES MATTER
ROLLINS STUDENT SCENARIO
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT ONE ROLLINS STUDENT’S FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE so that you can see an example of the amount of aid our students are awarded. This will help you in determining what you may need to fully cover your educational expenses. You may need far less than you might imagine depending on your living choices.
KEEP IN MIND
- Tuition rates increase from year to year at all educational institutions. Please factor in this increase as you consider expenses.
- This is only an example. Award offers vary from student to student.
- You must apply for financial aid EVERY year.
- Award packages may vary from year to year.
- Should you defer your admission, your financial aid award will be canceled. You will be considered for funding in the following year.
- The scholarship award reflected is an external award this student found using these ASPPH websites:

ROLLINS AS A BEST VALUE
Rollins has one of the lowest tuition costs in comparison to many of our peers in the top 10 schools of public health. We invite you to use this cost comparison worksheet as a guide to determining the best financial choice for you. The Rollins calculations assume the costs for one academic year. Loan fees are not included in this budget since every borrower, despite the institution they ultimately attend, will incur this standard cost.

** The balance reflects your estimated expenses minus the aid you receive. Depending on how much scholarship support you receive and loans you choose to borrow, your aid may exceed your expenses. In such a case, you may receive a refund or use the balance to reduce the amount of your loans. However, if your expenses exceed your aid, you will need additional funding (i.e. scholarships or loans) to cover your educational costs.
