Ripon College
Ripon College adds $2,500 a year for admitted students with a demonstrated interest in history, decided on an essay of no more than two pages.
It is a small award with a low barrier: two pages, no interview, no portfolio.
As with Ripon's other awards, the published dates are two cycles behind, so confirm the current deadline before writing.
$2,500 a year. All college scholarships and awards stack up to $40,000 a year and apply to tuition only. Note the college's scholarships page is headed 2025 to 2026 and its published dates are two cycles old, with its scholarship portal currently inactive, so confirm figures and deadlines before relying on them.
Admission as a first-year student with a demonstrated interest in history.
The college states that once accepted you are automatically considered for academic merit-based scholarships, and that you are eligible to receive scholarship funding if you meet qualifying academic criteria, on its international applicants page, which links directly to this award list. It counts non-citizens who attended secondary school in the United States, non-citizens who have never been to the United States, dual citizens and permanent residents as international students. This award sits under the college's academic scholarships heading, which those sentences cover.
An essay of no more than two pages covering interest in the award, what led to the interest in history and relevant background, submitted to the admission office. The published deadline is two cycles old.
