At Vanguard University of Southern California, Pell Grants reach 43.8% of undergraduates, and the estimated share of entrants outside the first-time, full-time group is 26.1%. Undergraduate enrollment totals 1,933, placing federal grant recipients and students continuing coursework begun elsewhere within the school’s enrollment mix.

For incoming students, the longer-run completion record is stronger than the first-year return measure suggests. Vanguard University of Southern California retains 70.1% of its full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year cohort, below the 74.2% peer median for comparable institutions of the same type and size.

By six years, the first-time full-time cohort’s graduation rate reaches 56.8%, above the 54.9% peer median. Pell recipients in that cohort complete within six years at 44.8%, below the overall rate by 12.0 percentage points.

Enrolled students can expect early persistence to sit below the peer midpoint, even as six-year completion sits above it; the Pell completion figure remains lower than the overall result.
