Gifts to The Rice Investment contribute to...
What if a prestigious school looked for ways to open doors instead of close them? At Rice, we believe talent deserves opportunity. The Rice Investment is a bold financial aid initiative that reduces barriers for low- and middle-income families, strengthening Rice’s support for the most deserving students.
- Degree-seeking undergraduate students whose families earn less than $75,000* will receive grants that fully cover tuition, mandatory fees and living expenses.
- Students whose families earn between $75,000 and $140,000* will receive at least a full-tuition scholarship.
- Students whose families earn between $140,000 and $200,000* will receive at least a half-tuition scholarship.
- Students receiving these awards will not be required to borrow to fund their education.
In the 2024-2025 academic year, $175.4 million was awarded in undergraduate aid, with 56% of students receiving financial assistance of some kind. As our student body expands, so does the demand for support. Your gift to The Rice Investment helps Rice uphold its commitment to access and affordability for students of all backgrounds.
