Financial Aid
Domestic Students
Rivermont Collegiate uses FACTS Management to help determine what a family can afford towards the annual Rivermont tuition. Families of Early School – 12 domestic students are encouraged to complete an online application through FACTS.
60% of Rivermont families receive some form of tuition discount.
You can start the financial aid application at any time during the school application process. Tuition discounts are awarded based on the financial need of the family and do not correspond to the determination of eligibility of the student applicant.
State Funding Available for Iowa Families
The Students First Act, introduced by Governor Reynolds and signed into law on Jan. 24, 2023, makes state funding available to every K-12 student in Iowa. The bill establishes a framework and funding for education savings accounts, which eligible families may use to cover tuition, fees, and other qualified education expenses at accredited nonpublic schools in Iowa like Rivermont Collegiate.
Rivermont K-12 families living in Iowa may qualify for Education Savings Account (ESA) funds through the Students First Act.
Rivermont requires all K-12 Iowa families applying for financial aid to apply for ESA funding, regardless of whether they think they will qualify.
Families can apply for funding from April 16 to June 30 for the 2024-2025 school year.
International Students
The international financial aid application can be found by applying to Rivermont Collegiate.
