Admissions
An acceptance rate of 80% puts New Hope Christian College-Eugene on the accessible end — a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. The applicant pool is small at 50, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield sits at 35% — the remainder of admitted students enroll elsewhere or not at all.

Six-year completion sits at 46%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. Transfer-out runs to 17% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 44 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,573 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($20,109 versus $28,107), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $10,398, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 68% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
