Admissions
Hallmark University admits 51% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly one in two applicants are turned away. Only 224 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 98% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
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.

58% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 996 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $12,053 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,662 at $0–30k against $15,606 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 63% get grants averaging $7,479, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 60% 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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 177 students
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,662 |
| $30–48k | $12,406 |
| $48–75k | $14,719 |
| $75–110k | $15,330 |
| $110k+ | $15,606 |
