The program is based on need and is funded by endowment and other fundraising efforts. Decisions regarding financial aid are separate from admission decisions, and are made by a committee after careful review of all information provided in the financial aid application. Riordan utilizes the services of TADS to help determine a family's eligibility for financial aid.
