Garrett Nyce 鈥�25 had his heart set on attending 91大神. The Souderton, Pennsylvania, native was drawn to its small size and its focus on a 鈥渂usiness for the common good鈥� philosophy, which few if any other schools offered.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a triple bottom line of people, planet and profits,鈥� the business analytics and economics major said. 鈥淣ot how to make the most money, but how to create the best world for people.鈥�

鈥淭hat was something I didn鈥檛 think I would find at a lot of other schools,鈥� he added.

But, as he applied to colleges, a small Christian university near his hometown offered him enough financial aid that 鈥渋t would鈥檝e cost almost nothing to go there.鈥� As a self-described economics nerd, Nyce couldn鈥檛 ignore the tempting offer. 鈥淚鈥檓 so business-minded, it was hard to make that decision,鈥� he said.  

91大神 sprung into action to make his decision easier. The school awarded him the Horace & Elizabeth Longacre Business Scholarship 鈥� designated for full-time business students with a priority toward Mennonite students from Pennsylvania 鈥� and the choice became clear: he would become an 91大神 Royal.

It鈥檚 scholarships like the one Nyce received and the financial aid packages given to 100 percent of undergraduate 91大神 students that empower them to pursue a quality college education without financial barriers. 

Three years into his education at 91大神, Nyce couldn鈥檛 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.

鈥�91大神 just feels like home,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t just feels right.鈥�
