How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
The Evergreen State College admits about 96.4% of applicants. Among enrolled undergraduates, 41.6% receive Pell Grants and 30.1% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment represents 56.5% of the student body. The institution's test-optional admissions policy means standardized scores are not a primary enrollment driver. Azimuth ranks The Evergreen State College #656 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The college enrolls a substantial share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students on a campus built around open-access principles and a distinctive liberal arts curriculum. Retention is 69.9% and the six-year graduation rate is 40.7%, with 54.9% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. Azimuth ranks The Evergreen State College #587 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $34,900 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 7.8 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The mobility ranking reflects the institution's ability to serve a broad-access student body — including high shares of Pell and first-generation students — while supporting graduates into outcomes that exceed those of similar students at comparable institutions. Azimuth's analysis of access and mobility explores how institutions balance enrollment breadth with graduate success.
