Westminster Choir College Graduate Scholarship and Assistantship information

* Fully online students and students who receive any supplemental funds toward their education e.g. corporate tuition remission or a graduate assistantship, will not be eligible to receive the graduate admission scholarship.

Loans

Financial aid is available to qualified graduate students under several loan programs. Examples of loan sources are the Federal Stafford loans and private student loans for students. Interested students should contact the office of Office of Financial Aid (609-896-5360) to inquire about financial aid availability and other loan possibilities, or visit the Office of Financial Aid.

Assistantships

At Rider University, we have a limited number of Graduate Assistantships available to students who are interested in gaining valuable experience working on campus. These jobs provide an excellent opportunity to engage in meaningful work, allow you to make contacts both on and off campus, while enabling you to defray the cost of your graduate work. We encourage you to research the available positions.

A standard assistantship position will require you to work for no more than 20 hours per week on campus, for which you will receive an hourly wage. Some of the available positions may have flexibility for non-traditional hours. Each semester, you will be required to complete a new assistantship agreement contract to be handled within each individual department. In addition, your compensation will include up to six credit hours of coursework that will be subsidized by the department that employs you. Please refer to the job descriptions for any variation on compensation.

For more information on applying for graduate assistant positions, visit the Graduate Assistantships page.

Please note there are a limited number of assistantships available, so we encourage you to apply as soon as you find a position of interest.

Westminster Choir College students should visit the Westminster Graduate Assistantships and Scholarships page for details.

For information on student employment at Rider, visit Student Employment.

View scholarships and aid resources for veterans, military service members and their beneficiaries. 

Note: A scholarship is a financial aid award to an individual student (a scholar) for the purposes of furthering their education. Merit-based scholarships are primarily awarded based on the students’ prior academic performance. Merit scholarships are renewable as long as the student maintains the minimum criteria to retain the award. Scholarships and grants do not get repaid.

Upon admission to Rider University, students that meet the criteria and qualifications for a scholarship automatically receive the award; no additional scholarship application is required. Awards are subject to change.
