Transforming Students - Transforming Lives

Currently about 33% of students pursuing a degree at Rider are the first in their families to attend college. These students often have fewer financial resources to rely on for college funding. Endowed scholarships help by ensuring that every student who has earned admission to Rider is able to attend. Unrestricted endowments provide additional support, ensuring Rider can respond to emergent needs as they arise.

Refreshing Rider’s nearly 60-year-old campus requires lots of TLC and continual upgrades to residence halls, classrooms, labs and sports facilities. The Campaign supports a vision of a living and learning environment that inspires creativity, builds camaraderie, enhances instruction and encourages collaboration through the funding of new construction and the modernization of existing buildings.

Want to lend your support to Rider in the broadest possible way? A strong annual fund provides flexibility, helping to address the University’s most pressing needs. At Rider, the Annual Fund is a vital resource — one that directly benefits current students by sustaining every part of their campus experience.
