Rider’s financial aid office works with families to ensure an undergraduate education is affordable at every income level. Financial aid award offers are customized to fit your unique financial circumstances.

Your actual cost of attendance can differ based on whether you live on campus or at home, and based on the grants and scholarships you receive. This page shows the full New Student Tuition and Fees, as well as the Average Annual Net Price and Average Annual Typical Cost that many families pay. 

Thanks to scholarships and other financial aid, 99% of our students pay a reduced cost of attendance depending on their academic, athletic and performance talent as well as the individual family’s financial need.

To get a full picture of the scholarships, grants and other aid that you may be eligible to receive, apply to Rider and transmit your FAFSA using federal school code 002628. Merit-based scholarships and aid are automatically awarded when you apply and, once we receive your FAFSA, the Office of Financial Aid can help identify additional resources to fund your education.

*** Average annual net price after Federal, State and Institutional Grants and Scholarships. Average net price is generated using the same methodology as used by Federal IPEDS but separates on-campus and off-campus (with family) as opposed to the weighted average. It is calculated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board and other expenses (as applicable). Average net price is calculated for first-time full-time students, who completed required financial aid applications such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and were awarded federal, state/local government, or institutional grants or scholarships. Fees do not include one-time Orientation Fee.

**** Average typical annual cost after Federal, State and Institutional Grants and Scholarships and Federal Stafford Loans. Average typical cost takes the average annual net price and subtracts Federal Stafford Loan amounts based on freshmen level eligibility of $5,500 less origination fees. Additional loan and work options are available to further reduce your typical cost but are not included in this analysis. You must repay loans, plus interest and fees.
