To seize the rewards of a great education, many factors come into play, not the least of which is money. Cost, after all, is an obvious concern for you and your family. We understand that exploring higher education costs and financial aid options can be overwhelming. Therefore, we keep our process simple.

While the primary responsibility for financing your college education rests with you and your family, to the fullest extent possible, Ripon College will assist you with financial aid to help meet the difference between your resources and the total annual costs.

Financial aid can come from federal, state, institutional and private sources. It can be in the form of gift aid (scholarships and grants) or self-help (student employment and low-interest loans). We determine each student's financial aid individually, and you may receive a combination of types of aid depending upon your eligibility.

This site contains information regarding the financial aid awards available to Ripon College students. We hope that it will answer many of your questions. If not, feel free to contact us for additional information.
