Rider University is offering free tuition to eligible New Jersey residents through a new program — the Rider Tuition Guarantee.
The program is available to students pursuing their undergraduate degrees who meet financial and academic requirements.
“We’re dedicated to removing financial barriers for students through Rider’s robust scholarship opportunities and innovative financial aid support like the Rider Tuition Guarantee,” Drew Aromando, vice president of enrollment management, said. “Through this opportunity, high-achieving students who call New Jersey home can pursue their program of choice.”
The Lawrenceville-based university said the goal of the program is to fill the gap in financial aid after all other scholarships and grants have been applied.
- Residency: New Jersey resident
- GPA: 3.5 or above on a 4.0 scale
- Income: Adjusted gross income of $50,000 or less
- Grants: Receiving both full TAG and Pell grants
Once you’ve met the criteria and eligibility requirements, the Rider Tuition Guarantee offers a “last dollar” financial aid award that covers the cost of your undergraduate tuition. Students must remain enrolled in good academic standing to maintain eligibility.
Additionally, Rider also offers the opportunity for incoming undergraduate students to obtain free textbooks through its Books for Broncs program. Students must complete three qualifying campus visits with the Office of Admission to be eligible. Terms and conditions are available at rider.edu/books-for-broncs.
