Admissions
Boise Bible College admits 90% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. Only 42 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 79% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through. 20% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 490–610 | 6 (20%) |

Only 30% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Just 56% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. Transfer-out runs to 20% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 100 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $17,643 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $15,056 at $0–30k against $22,045 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 93% of students receive it, averaging $6,437. 42% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $15,056 |
| $30–48k | $13,406 |
| $48–75k | $15,185 |
