Average Annual Net Price

< $30,000 $19,108 $2,878

$30,001–$48,000 $21,596 $5,366

$48,001–$75,000 $25,471 $9,241

*2023–2024 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.

We also invest in your success through generous University-funded scholarships and need-based grants. Together, these funds help make Rider’s quality private education affordable and accessible for you.

» What about non-Rider scholarships? Will they affect my financial aid?

Many Rider students receive generous scholarships from sources outside of the University. The good news is, your financial aid offer will most likely be the same regardless of your scholarship awards. In the case that you earn enough outside scholarships, your aid from Rider could be reduced to fit within your Cost of Attendance. Either way, your debt will be lower once you graduate.
