A brief description of the institution’s policies and programs to minimize the cost of attendance for low-income students?:
Richmond In Reach, our need-based aid program, is available to eligible, full-time undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Through this program, Richmond commits to meeting 100% of our students’ demonstrated need, and we don’t consider financial need when making admission decisions.
Aid packages are made up of grants and scholarships that do not have to be repaid, as well as a self-help portion that may include loans or Work-Study. Because it is the University's desire to help students graduate with very little debt, they attempt to keep loans to a minimum.
