Ripon College consistently has been recognized as a “Best Value” by The Princeton Review, a “Best Buy in College Education” by Barron’s, among the top-tier and best-value colleges by U.S. News & World Report, and among the top 200 private colleges in the nation overall and for value by Forbes magazine.

We take pride in providing our students a significant return on investment.

More than 90 percent of our students receive financial aid. That funding comes from many sources: merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, loans, work study, and scholarships from outside organizations to help meet costs. Our students receive, on average, $27,500 in total aid, including an average of $15,400 in Ripon College gift aid alone.

We encourage you to try our Net Price Calculator to learn more about potential financial aid and estimate the net cost of attendance.

First-year students (freshmen and transfer) work with our financial aid counselor Victoria Gack. Contact her at 920-748-8301 or financialaid@ripon.edu. Continuing student aid applicants should contact financial aid counselor Michelle Hermes at 920-748-8371 or financialaid@ripon.edu.
