WELCOME!

Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid website. Our goal is to guide you through the financial aid process at Rice University. We understand that your education is a significant investment for both you and your family. We hope that this website will ease the process of exploring the different financial aid options available to you.

Our loan process will be changing for the remainder of the 2009-2010 school year as well as the 2010-2011 school year. Rice will no longer be doing loans through the Federal Family Education Loan Program and will process all loans through the Direct Loan Program. Please check back for updates as we will post more information as it's available.

Priority Filing Dates

Make sure you check our priority filing dates. If you submit all your financial aid application items by March 1 and are admitted to Rice, you will receive a financial aid award letter along with your admission decision.

Check Your Status

Are you wondering if we received your tax returns? What about your CSS Profile or your FAFSA? Students can view their Admssions and Finanial AId status by using their Esther accounts.
