What is Rensselaer doing to help families and students afford Rensselaer?
We are committed to making Rensselaer affordable for our students and more than 90 percent of our students receive scholarship aid. In addition to the more than $83 million the university currently spends in scholarship aid, an additional $2 million has been added to meet any increased need experienced by our students. These funds will be available for families who may experience increased financial hardship, today or in the future. Visit the Admissions Web site for more information on how to apply for financial aid. In addition, the work study wage rate was raised to $8.50 per hour and a $10.00 per hour scale for researchers was added.
