Rollins College Athletics

Rollins competes in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships but with less intensity than Division I programs. The Tars field teams in 21 varsity sports and award $5.65 million in athletic scholarships annually. About 20% of the 2,582 students participate in varsity athletics, creating a solid sports presence without dominating campus life. Rollins belongs to the Sunshine State Conference, competing against other Florida private schools. The program strikes a balance between competitive athletics and academic focus that fits the liberal arts mission. Division II allows students to pursue serious athletics while maintaining strong academics. The Tars have historically been competitive in tennis and golf, sports that align well with the affluent Winter Park setting and Florida's year-round outdoor climate.
