Don't forget your FAFSA
Completing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is key to determining the amount of financial aid you will receive. Transmit your FAFSA to Rider University using federal school code 002628. Rider uses the FAFSA as the foundation for all financial aid awards and until this is completed, we can only award your merit based aid.
