The Edward Waters College (EWC) Office of Admissions is reporting a dramatic increase in the number of applications for the 2015-2016 academic year, with a 70% percent increase compared to the number of applications received during the same time last year. “We had just over 1800 applications this time last year. This year we have over 3100,” said Director of Admissions, Joel Walker.

The College also has a triple-digit increase in the number of students who have been admitted to the institution. EWC has already accepted 1,537 students compared to the 742 students who were accepted last summer.

Most of the students who attend EWC are from the Southeast with 84% coming from the State of Florida. There are also 6 countries represented among the applicants including Argentina, Columbia, Venezuela, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Ghana and Canada.

“There are numerous benefits to receiving a higher education, and Edward Waters College is helping a college degree become more accessible to many students who never thought it was an option,” said Walker.
