Renewal risk profile

Rollins College's published renewal rules cluster around a 3.0 floor with no major-GPA gating, which is survivable for the typical freshman with steady study habits. The risk is non-renewal due to enrollment status (dropping below full-time), not GPA.

How Rollins College compares across our verified dataset

178 of 203 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Rollins College is one of them. The cohort minority (25 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
