Financial Aid (2023–2024)

| All Undergrads — Pell Grants | 77% — average $2,054 |
| All Undergrads — Federal Loans | 81% — average $3,885 |
Net price data was not reported because the institution did not admit full-time first-time undergraduate students in 2023–2024. The high percentage of students receiving aid (85%) and Pell Grants (77%) indicates a largely need-based student population.
Retention & Graduation
| Overall Graduation Rate (150% time) | 100% (students who began Fall 2018) — based on a very small cohort |
| 6-Year Bachelor's Graduation Rate | 50% (Fall 2018); 100% (Fall 2016 cohort) |
0% of entering students were counted as full-time, first-time in 2024, meaning virtually all Amridge students are transfer or returning students. Graduation rates are based on extremely small cohorts and should be interpreted accordingly. The 8-year outcome measures show stronger results: among part-time first-time students who entered in 2016–2017, 26% received an associate's degree and 63% received a bachelor's degree — a combined completion rate of 89%, which is excellent.
