Verified·Official source checked
Rice University🇺🇸 United StatesDeadline: 15 November 2026, 00:00

Rice University offers need-based financial aid to a limited number of international first-year applicants, considering international applicants on a need-aware basis. Students who receive need-based aid have 100% of demonstrated need met with institutional grant aid — loan-free — but are not eligible for the Rice Investment. The CSS Profile is required; international students admitted without requesting aid cannot apply later, and no need-based or merit-based aid is available to international transfer applicants.
