Garrett Nyce ’25 had his heart set on attending 91Ƶ. The Souderton, Pennsylvania, native was drawn to its small size and its focus on a “business for the common good” 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.
91Ƶ 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 91Ƶ Royal.
It’s scholarships like the one Nyce received and the financial aid packages given to 100 percent of undergraduate 91Ƶ students that empower them to pursue a quality college education without financial barriers.
Three years into his education at 91Ƶ, 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.
“91Ƶ just feels like home,” he said. “It just feels right.”
