In a new rating that spotlights schools for advancing the social mobility of their students, U.S. News & World Report ranks Transylvania University 50th among the nation’s liberal arts colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Top Performers on Social Mobility list considers how well Transylvania graduates students receiving Pell Grants; the vast majority of these funds are awarded to students with adjusted gross family incomes of less than $50,000. It was one of several recognitions from U.S. News earlier this month \u2014 the university also landed on the Best Value Schools list and, overall, moved up 15 spots in the past two years to 72nd among the country’s liberal arts schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Social Mobility ranking, U.S. News considered the\nsix-year graduation rates of Pell Grant students. Of Transylvania\u2019s students\nwho started in 2012, 73.3% of those receiving this federal money have\ngraduated, compared to 75.8% of the overall student body. “There’s a\nlittle bit of a difference,” said Rhyan Conyers, vice president for\ninstitutional effectiveness. “But it’s really not that substantial, which\nspeaks very well of what we have going on here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent Brookings\nInstitution report<\/a>, the average six-year graduation rate for Pell Grant\nrecipients in a sample of 1,266 four-year colleges was 51.4%, compared to 59.2%\nfor those not receiving Pells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Economically disadvantaged students are less likely\nthan others to finish college, even when controlling for other\ncharacteristics,” according to U.S. News. “But some colleges are more\nsuccessful than others at advancing social mobility by enrolling and graduating\nlarge proportions of disadvantaged students awarded with Pell Grants.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania takes extra steps to help ensure its students\nearn their degree \u2014 and\nin a timely manner<\/a>. For instance, staff members come up with intervention\nstrategies for those who are having academic troubles or don’t seem engaged in\nother ways. The school also offers free help with coursework, including\nassistance from peer tutors who are recommend by faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Because we’re a campus of about 1,000, it\u2019s easier for\nus to provide individual attention,” Conyers said. “There’s a good\nchance someone in the registrar\u2019s office is going to know that a student has a\nscheduling problem \u2014 or financial aid is going to know a great deal of detail\nabout a student\u2019s financial challenges.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 20-25% of Transylvania students receive Pell Grants; that\u2019s about the same percentage as those who are first-generation college students. Conyers said this means they don’t feel like they’re in a small minority, as they would at some other schools. Many of their fellow students come from similar backgrounds, so they might feel less alienated. “I think it does make things easier,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university also pays special attention to those who are\nthe first in their family to attend college. The John E. Fryer ’57 Fund for\nDiversity and Inclusion<\/a>, for example, provides support for first-generation\nstudents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pells are one of many grant and scholarship opportunities<\/a>\nTransylvania students can use to make a college degree more attainable, cut\ndown on debt burden and help their families save money. “We’re trying to\npiece together all these funding sources to make it as affordable as it can\npossibly be,” Conyers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, more than 98% of the university’s students qualify\nfor some sort of financial aid they don’t have to pay back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish professor Jeremy Paden is a testament to the benefits of financial assistance. “I went to college on a mix of scholarships, Pell Grants and government subsidized loans,” he said. “Though my dad was a doctor, because he was a medical missionary in the developing world, our family’s income was below federal poverty guidelines. Without Pell Grants, my debt load would have been double what it was. Whether or not the prospects of that much debt would have kept me from college, I don’t know. But without Pell Grants and without the government subsidized loans, I certainly would not have had the freedom to continue with postgraduate education.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
