Recruitment Practices 

Rider refrains from providing commission, bonus, or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on securing enrollments or federal financial aid (including Tuition Assistance funds) to any persons or entities engaged in any student recruiting, admission activities, or making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance. Rider refrains from high-pressure recruitment tactics such as making multiple unsolicited contacts (3 or more), including contact by phone, email, or in-person, or engage in same-day recruitment and registration for the purpose of securing Service member enrollments.

I chose Rider because it is veteran-friendly, which was most important to me. There is a long list of people at Rider who have helped me. Without their help, I would not have been able to continue school.
