As a result of limited student financial aid resources, Rivier must establish priority deadlines for financial aid applications. It is the student\u2019s responsibility to ensure that the FAFSA is filed by the priority deadline. On-time financial aid applicants are given full consideration for assistance. Availability of funds cannot be guaranteed for late applicants; therefore, late applicants will be considered on a funds-available basis. In order to award federal funding for a student, the Office of Financial Aid must have a valid Student Aid Report (results from the FAFSA).<\/p>\n<p>The deadlines for filing your FAFSA and providing additional documentation\/information that the Office requests are as follows:<\/p>\n<h4>For Fall-only 2025 Aid-Eligible Students \u2013 October 15, 2025<br \/>\nFor Fall\/Spring 2025-2026 or Spring-only 2026 Aid-Eligible Students \u2013 March 11, 2026<\/h4>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE: Undergraduate Day aid-eligible students are those who are enrolled at least half-time (there are some exceptions). Furnishing required documents by these deadline dates doesn\u2019t guarantee awarding of Rivier need-based funding (Rivier Grant) for day students. As this is a limited pool of funding, students are strongly encouraged to provide the necessary documents well before these deadlines. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at (603) 897-8488 or <a href=\"mailto:finaid@rivier.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">by
