Financial aid

At Riviera, we understand that choosing a school is a significant financial commitment for families. Our financial aid program is designed to support eligible students whose families demonstrate financial need, helping make a Riviera education more accessible to deserving students.

 

Financial aid is available to students in Grades 6–12 and is awarded based on demonstrated financial need, the recommendation of our independent financial aid assessment provider and the availability of school funds.

How financial aid is assessed

An objective approach to financial aid

 

To help assess a family's ability to contribute towards their child's education, Riviera uses FACTS Financial Aid Management, an independent third-party provider.

 

Families complete the financial aid application through FACTS, which assesses their financial circumstances and provides a recommended level of assistance. Riviera's Financial Aid Committee then considers each application alongside the available financial aid funds before making an award.
