Hello everyone! I'm looking into Rice University as a possible addition to my college list, but I want to make sure I can afford it. Is there a financial aid calculator available on their website or somewhere else? Thank you!
Yes, Rice University does offers both a financial aid calculator called the MyinTuition Quick College Cost Estimator and a Net Price Calculator. These tools can give you an estimate of financial aid and costs so you can get a better idea of whether Rice is an affordable option for you. You can find the MyinTuition Quick College Cost Estimator on Rice University's Office of Financial Aid website or by searching for "Rice University MyinTuition" in your preferred search engine and you can find the Net Price Calculator under "Rice Net Price Calculator".
Keep in mind that this estimator provides only an estimate and the actual financial aid package you receive may vary. If you're admitted to Rice, you'll get a more accurate financial aid offer, which will detail your actual costs and financial aid.
It's worth noting that Rice is committed to making education affordable and they offer a program called The Rice Investment. Under this program, Rice offers full-ride grants for families with incomes under $75,000, full-tuition grants to families with incomes between $75,000- $140,000, and half-tuition grants to families with incomes between $140,000-$200,000.
However, to receive accurate financial aid information based on your personal situation, you should fill out the FAFSA and CSS Profile as required by Rice once you're applying. Good luck with your college search!
