We’re Here To Help!

You’ve got the credentials, the transcript and the drive to be part of Rensselaer. We know that cost is a concern to many students and families.

Rensselaer has a wide range of aid options including grants, scholarships, loans and work programs to assist in making a Rensselaer education possible. The Office of Financial Aid staff is ready to assist you in developing a plan that will suit your individual situation.

Most of our merit based awards simply require you to apply for admission. Federal, state and need-based aid programs require additional applications. See the Financial Aid Resources link to the left to find out more information.

Because Rensselaer provides varied merit scholarships, if a student is eligible for multiple Rensselaer scholarships, we will the provide scholarship which awards the highest dollar value for which the student is qualified. A student may not combine multiple awards. The total of Rensselaer provided scholarships or grants may not exceed tuition.

Please call the Office of Financial Aid at (518) 276-6813 or e-mail finaid@rpi.edu with any questions.
