The rise in the student body population on campus can be attributed to Evangel’s admissions teams, five of whom pulled through almost 480 new undergraduate students. This exceeds last year’s amount of newly enrolled students which approximated 390 students.New scholarship opportunities and a more generous look into a student’s academic performance have played a key role in the larger amount of interest in Evangel.
Test optional makes it so that only the GPA is viewed as the primary source for academic performance. Allowing people with lower test scores to still attend Evangel University. Along with this change, a new sibling scholarship awards each sibling attending Evangel $1000 in order to honor families who continue to support Evangel.
The Founder’s Scholarship lowered their accepted ACT test score from 25 to 24. Breighann McKnight, director for admissions and recruitment, said, “Opening that up by one more number allowed so many more students to be eligible.”
Evangel University has implemented these new education opportunities for 2019.
- The Sibling Scholarship
- Test Optional
- New Fine Arts Scholarship
- Lowering Founder’s ACT score minimum
All of these adjustments, and benefits opened the door to allow more students to be admitted into Evangel University. Allowing more students to have the opportunity to follow God’s plan for their life.
