Rider offers a very limited number of graduate assistantships. Visit http://www.rider.edu/assistantships to view a list of currently available graduate assistantships.  To apply for an assistanship, you must already be admitted to study at the university. Graduate assistantships do not cover the full cost of study. Most assistanships cover the cost of 6 credits (2 courses) per semester; international students must enroll in at least 9 credits (3 classes) per semester to maintain full-time student status.
