About these student measures The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has a small Pell Grant presence: 11.8% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Its undergraduate enrollment is 2,309, and an estimated 2.7% enter after beginning college elsewhere. This mix points to a predominantly direct-entry undergraduate population, with federal grant recipients and transfer entrants also represented. In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, the university reported 68 degree-seeking transfer applicants, 47 admitted, and 17 enrolled. At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, the first-year retention rate is 91.7%, and the [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) for the first-time full-time cohort is 78.2%. Both figures sit above the medians for comparable institutions, which are 83.4% and 68.8% respectively. Pell Grant recipients in that cohort complete at 85.2%, which is 7.0 percentage points above the overall rate. The environment is one where most students return and finish, and the Pell completion rate suggests that outcome extends to students who arrive with federal need-based grants. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
