Admissions
Veritas Baptist College admits 95% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 20, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 68% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.

Completion is middling: 40% finish inside six years. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. 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. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 116 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $21,695 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $20,796 at $0–30k, $24,494 at $75–110k. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $1,261 — common but not automatic. Only 9% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $20,796 |
| $30–48k | $20,699 |
