Direct Support to Students
The Ripon Fund provides flexible and immediate impact resources, enabling the College to respond to pressing financial needs and to seize new opportunities. In essence, it supports the campus’s greatest need and serves as a crucial component of the College’s primary revenue sources, tuition and endowment.
As we look ahead, we know Ripon College will continue to evolve, while still holding true to the values and traditions for which it is known. Many of our alumni and friends have expressed a desire to support specific aspects of the Ripon experience that mean the most to them. With that request in mind, we are happy to provide the opportunity to select where you would like to see your Ripon Fund gift applied.
