Campus Crest Communities led by CEO Ted Rollins provides free housing options for students who win Horatio
Alger Florida Scholarships to college. These students are recognized for overcoming adversity in their lives.
The award comes with a $5,000 prize as well as access to financial aid and scholarship counseling, college
readiness help, 24/7 support including crisis response and counseling resources, free housing options provided
at 44 campuses around the country, grad school
funding and access to peers and scholarship program
alumni.
The scholarship recipients were picked based on their
commitment to education, dedication to community
service, and strength of character in overcoming
personal obstacles to achieve academic excellence,
according to The Horatio Alger Association of
Distinguished American, which sponsors the
scholarship.
The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc. bears the name of the renowned author
Horatio Alger, Jr., whose tales of overcoming adversity through unyielding perseverance and basic moral
principles captivated the public in the late 19th century. The Association, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit educational
organization, was established in 1947 to dispel the mounting belief among the nation's youth that the
American Dream was no longer attainable.
