Richmond In Reach, our need-based aid program, is available to eligible, full-time undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Through this program, Richmond commits to meeting 100% of our students’ demonstrated need, and we don’t consider financial need when making admission decisions.
Aid packages are made up of grants and scholarships that do not have to be repaid, as well as a self-help portion that may include loans or Work-Study. Because it is our desire to help students graduate with very little debt, we attempt to keep loans to a minimum.International students may also apply for need-based aid.
The admission and financial aid processes happen concurrently. Be sure to follow the financial aid application instructions so we may provide you with your financial aid eligibility in time for you to make your enrollment decision.
While not every student will qualify for need-based aid, all first-year applicants are eligible to be considered for merit scholarships.
