The Alumni Board of Directors/Alumni Association Scholarship
Each year, the Alumni Board of Directors awards a scholarship to a current Rider student. The Alumni Board of Directors engages with alumni and their families to foster lasting connections to the University. This scholarship will be awarded to an undergraduate student who is the child, grandchild, or sibling of a Rider graduate. The scholarship symbolizes the Alumni Board’s commitment to community and student support and recognizes the importance of providing funds to students and assisting them towards earning a college degree.

Scholarship support is important to me because:
I fund my own college education. All scholarship support I receive helps me reach my goal of graduating summa cum laude from Rider University with as little debt as possible. I am also a first-generation college student, so supporting myself through my college education has always been an important goal of mine.
