RIDER ADVANTAGE
The Rider Advantage program rewards academic performance and student leadership with a generous incentive grant that helps bridge the tuition gap between your first and second year of college.  The grant is awarded in addition to other financial aid and scholarship awards that you may receive, regardless of need.

ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS
More than 230 scholarship funds have been established through the generosity of benefactors, both individuals and foundations. In 2007-2008, Rider undergraduate and graduate students received over 680 awards totaling approximately $2 million. In any given year the amounts and number of scholarships depend on annual income from endowment funds and gifts from individual donors and may vary accordingly. Most scholarships are applied against direct charges each semester.   A general application for endowed scholarships is available online or at the Office of Financial Aid.  Interested students should submit an application for consideration for these scholarships. Funds are disbursed on the basis of merit and/or financial need to those who meet the criteria specified by each donor.
