- Students living on Evangel’s campus may have noticed the difficulty in finding a decent parking space and the tight clear-outs after chapel services. This is all due to campus population growth that can be attributed to our hard working admissions team and new scholarship opportunities.
- This year’s enrollment exceeds last year’s by nearly 100 students.
- The university took a more generous look into the academic performance of students. Rather than looking so closely at their ACT or SAT score upon applying, they are now paying more attention to the student’s overall GPA.
- A new sibling scholarship has also been added to available scholarships that allows students who have a sibling on campus already to receive money. Both the incoming student and the current sibling will receive the scholarship.
- The well known Founder’s Scholarship has also been altered based on previous years applications. The accepted ACT score was lowered from a 25 to a 24 so that more students can be eligible.
- Because the Founder’s scholarship was not contributing many students to the Fine Arts department or theology and communications programs, the university has created the Fine Arts scholarship. This award targets incoming students who have an interest in communications, humanities, theology and music.
- The hard work of the admissions team has paid off. Much of Evangel’s income is tuition based, this rise in attendance is gratefully welcomed. Breighann McKnight, assistant director for admissions and recruitment said, “It’s great to see the fruit of our labor. It’s definitely been one of the most rewarding years.”
