About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Holy Family University, a private nonprofit university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serves 2,464 undergraduates. Pell Grants reach 41.0% of undergraduates, while an estimated 38.3% entered after prior college coursework.
That combination points to a campus where students continuing from other institutions make up a large share of the student body alongside Pell Grant recipients. The two populations overlap, yet each remains a visible part of who attends.
Applicants receiving Pell Grants or arriving with transfer credits should run the cost calculator to see what aid recipients in their income band actually pay.
