Music Scholarships
Wiedey Family Ensemble Scholarships
Students with a background and interest in music are invited to audition for Wiedey Family Ensemble scholarships. These scholarships are contingent upon recipients’ commitment to pursue music at Ripon College, though a major/minor in music is not required. These scholarships are renewable, with renewal contingent on the following criteria: enroll in at least one Music Department ensemble each semester on the awarded performing medium, maintain enrollment as a full-time student, and maintain satisfactory progress toward a four-year degree as published in the Ripon College Catalog.
