As a high school student, Sugeeth Sathish took almost every course required for an economics major while he was dual enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He looked at many colleges, including Ivy League institutions.

Then, he visited Stetson and made his decision after learning about the Roland George Investments Program, where students now manage a portfolio of $11.5 million. He applied and was selected for Stetson’s prestigious J. Ollie Edmunds Distinguished Scholarship.

The J. Ollie Edmunds Scholarship is a nationally competitive award that seeks high-achieving student scholars with a proven track record of academic excellence and leadership from around the world. This scholarship covers a student’s expenses for four years at Stetson University, including full tuition and fees, on-campus room and board, and a summer stipend for an internship or study abroad. Average scholarship award in 2025-2026: $78,000 a year.

Sathish graduated in May 2025 and now works at Goldman Sachs as an investment banking analyst on Wall Street. He credits the Roland George Investments Program for helping him achieve his dream. RGIP is one of many opportunities at Stetson for immersive, hands-on learning that prepare students for successful careers and lives.

“Learning those skills and getting those opportunities on my resume, Stetson has been invaluable,” said Sathish, a triple major in finance, accounting and economics.
