Rivier University

Scholarship eligibility at Rivier University is primarily based on academic merit. 

All students are automatically considered for the following scholarships when applying for full-time admission. These scholarships are typically renewable for up to four consecutive years of full-time undergraduate study, contingent upon maintaining satisfactory academic progress. Importantly, these are institutional awards that do not require repayment. However, it's crucial to note that if a student receives 100% funding or tuition reimbursement from an external source, all Rivier funding will be revoked.
