Early Acceptance Program
The Rivier Early Acceptance Program (REAP) streamlines the application process and provides on-the-spot acceptance and additional financial aid grant awards.
Since its launch five years ago, REAP has made the admissions process more accessible and less stressful for hundreds of high school seniors, rewarding academic achievement and early commitment with substantial benefits.
REAP affords prospective students the opportunity to take a student-led tour, meet individually with a Rivier staff member, and receive exclusive financial incentives of up to $10,000, all in one on-campus visit. Students also receive a same-day admissions decision, alleviating the anxiety and unpredictability of the college search process.
REAP is the fastest way to receive a non-binding admission decision and secure your spot! Participants qualify for the following awards during their first year:
- $2,000 Visit Grant, renewable annually
- $1,000 Early Acceptance Grant
