Admissions
With an acceptance rate of 94%, George Fox University takes nearly everyone who applies. The applicant pool runs to 4,207, typical for a school of this reach. Only 18% of admitted students enroll — the great majority of admits go elsewhere or nowhere. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 8% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 560–680 | 56 (8%) |
| SAT Math | 510–660 | |

Six-year completion runs to 72% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 83% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Transfer-out runs to 22% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,502 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $32,171 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The income table below is the number that matters — $22,871 at $0–30k versus $36,847 at $110k+. Most students get help: 93% receive grants worth $25,005 on average. Most students borrow — 65% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $22,871 |
| $30–48k | $23,580 |
| $48–75k | $24,631 |
| $75–110k | $32,052 |
