Questions? We've got answers.

» Will my family be able to afford Rider?

Whether you have significant or minimal need, our financial aid offers are highly personalized to your specific circumstances. Your dedicated financial aid advisor will help build a customized plan. You will know your entire financial picture before you even start your first class.

We also invest in your success through generous University-funded scholarships and need-based grants. Together, these funds help make Rider’s quality private education affordable and accessible for you.

» What about non-Rider scholarships? Will they affect my financial aid?

Many Rider students receive generous scholarships from sources outside of the University. The good news is, your financial aid offer will most likely be the same regardless of your scholarship awards. In the case that you earn enough outside scholarships, your aid from Rider could be reduced to fit within your Cost of Attendance. Either way, your debt will be lower once you graduate.

» Can I get a job on campus?

Rider students have a wide variety of paid campus job opportunities to choose from. Through Handshake, an online portal managed by the Offices of One Stop Services and Career Development and Success, you can view and apply for undergraduate jobs, graduate assistantship positions, internships, full-time jobs and more.

» How do I find a job after graduation?

Alumni have access to search for jobs on Handshake, grow their network on RiderConnect, attend career fairs and participate in oneone-one career coaching, all of which help to prepare you for success in your chosen field.

$22.8k is the average student assistance package

Average Annual Net Price

After Federal, State and Institutional Grants and Scholarships*

*2021–2022 average net price is generated using the same methodology as used by Federal IPEDS but separates on-campus and off-campus (with family) as opposed to the weighted average. It is calculated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board and other expenses (as applicable). Average net price is calculated for first-time full-time students, who completed required financial aid applications such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and were awarded federal, state/local government, or institutional grants or scholarships. Fees do not include one-time Orientation Fee.
