THE RIPON COMMITMENT:

Part 2: Price Match. 

We will match the cost of tuition and fees at UW-Madison for in-state students. 

At Ripon, we want students to make choices based on what’s best for them — not financial barriers — so you can earn a private education at a competitive price. You won’t pay more than $11,606!

Requirements:

  • Students must be Wisconsin residents
  • Incoming first-year or transfer student
  • Must file a FAFSA
  • Must live on campus

“My experience at Ripon College has been pivotal in preparing me for the professional world and boosting my confidence. I had the opportunity to pursue my passions and fully immerse myself in my college journey before transitioning into the workforce. I wouldn’t have taken any other path.”
