Making college finances manageable

Download Rider's information on financing your education (PDF) for important instructions, checklists, and resources for new undergraduate students.

Academic Year 2026-27 information will be posted by the end of June 2026.

Review detailed information about tuition, housing, dining rates and other fees for the current academic year. Learn about the many financing options available to make Rider more affordable for you.

When you apply to Rider, you’re automatically considered for merit-based scholarships. Ninety-nine percent of students receive Rider-funded scholarships or gift aid that does not need to be repaid. Make sure you also file your FAFSA to see what other aid you may qualify for!

Use our Net Price Calculator to estimate your cost to attend Rider, including tuition, fees, housing, meals, books and other expenses, minus potential scholarships and grants. 

Your results are an estimate based on historic data, not a final financial aid offer. Actual costs and aid may vary. To receive an official aid package, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and transmit it to Rider University using school code 002628.

Our team can help you explore monthly payment plans, as well as consider your 529 plans and other resources to help manage your costs. Together, we’ll build a plan that works for your family’s financial goals.

If you need to take out loans, we’ll help you understand your options and create a borrowing strategy that keeps debt as low as possible. Our goal is to help you borrow only what you need and plan confidently for repayment.

Make your tuition or housing deposit, understand your bill, view payment options and learn how refunds are processed. We’ll help ensure you stay on track with your payments.

Rider’s One Stop Services team is here to support you with any scholarship, financial aid, and billing-related questions from filing your FAFSA to developing a financial game plan. It all starts with a conversation. Email us, call by phone, schedule a meeting or pop into our Zoom waiting room for assistance. We're here for you.
