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

Committed to Support

Ripon won’t just help you attend financially—we’ll make sure you have the support you need to succeed. Our curriculum integrates 21st-century skills so you’re ready for the workplace, and our average class size of 20 students means you’ll receive personalized attention while connecting with your teachers and classmates.

“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.”
