The Rice Investment Expansion
The Rice Investment, our signature financial aid program, makes education affordable for all low- and middle-income domestic students who demonstrate talent, initiative and drive to positively impact the world. This year, we furthered that investment two ways by expanding the income ranges and going completely loan-free, regardless of whether you qualify for the Rice Investment.
