Garrett Nyce ’25 had his heart set on attending ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿. The Souderton, Pennsylvania, native was drawn to its small size and its focus on a “business for the common goodâ€� philosophy, which few if any other schools offered.
“It’s a triple bottom line of people, planet and profits,� the business analytics and economics major said. “Not how to make the most money, but how to create the best world for people.�
“That was something I didn’t think I would find at a lot of other schools,� he added.
But, as he applied to colleges, a small Christian university near his hometown offered him enough financial aid that “it would’ve cost almost nothing to go there.� As a self-described economics nerd, Nyce couldn’t ignore the tempting offer. “I’m so business-minded, it was hard to make that decision,� he said.
ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ sprung into action to make his decision easier. The school awarded him the Horace & Elizabeth Longacre Business Scholarship — designated for full-time business students with a priority toward Mennonite students from Pennsylvania — and the choice became clear: he would become an ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Royal.
It’s scholarships like the one Nyce received and the financial aid packages given to 100 percent of undergraduate ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ students that empower them to pursue a quality college education without financial barriers.
Three years into his education at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿, Nyce couldn’t imagine himself anywhere else. The junior wields a mighty bat on the Royals baseball team, serves as a Royal Ambassador and is on the Leadership Council.
“ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ just feels like home,â€� he said. “It just feels right.â€�
