For a limited number of employee groups, Rider extends a reduced Tuition Remission benefit toward undergraduate study by a dependent child enrolled at another accredited institution. External Tuition Remission applies to study at another institution only: it applies only where noted below, and only covers undergraduate study. It is capped as a percentage of Rider's own tuition, it’s not based on the outside school's tuition.

Note: Effective December 5, 2025, this benefit will be suspended except for employees who were already receiving External Tuition Remission benefits as of the effective date of the change. These employees will be grandfathered through the Spring Semester 2026; after the Spring Semester 2026, Rider will pay the actual tuition charged to the student up to a maximum of 20% of the tuition Rider charges its undergraduate students.

For questions regarding internal tuition remission, please reach out to benefits@rider.edu.

• Submit an External Tuition Remission Request via MyRider > My Employee Info Card > .
• Before the online request can be processed, email the following two additional documents to Human Resources (benefits@rider.edu):
  • a Financial Aid Award Letter
  • the outside institution's billing statement showing tuition, fees, and aid detail (must show the student's name and billing term)
• A FAFSA application is typically required to generate the Financial Aid Award Letter; requirements vary by outside institution.
• We are currently in fiscal and academic year 2027, which includes Fall 2026, J Term 2027, Spring 2027 and Summer 2027.
• Allow at least three weeks for check preparation once all documentation is received; Human Resources will notify the employee when the check is available.

If your dependent plans to register for courses at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ using tuition remission benefits, you must submit a Tuition Remission Request online. To increase efficiency and accuracy with the approval process, all applications must be submitted through the online system; paper applications are no longer being processed. The online application must be completed in order for the Tuition remission benefit to be awarded.
