The Ridgewater Cares/Unrestricted Fund provides us with flexibility and allows us to support areas of greatest need as they arise. These funds can be used to support student emergency grants, food pantries, campus programs, scholarships and more!

Without this support, we cannot offer essential resources to students in need.

While many students continue to be recognized for their hard work and achievements through our scholarship awards, we still turn away over half of our applicants due to insufficient funding.  Your donations to Ridgewater Cares or General Scholarships help fill this gap and allow us to create more awards in the areas that need it most so more students can be reached and recognized.

Are you looking to contribute to a specific program or an established scholarship? Indicate this on your donation form and 100% of your donation will be given to the fund of your choosing. Here is a list of Ridgewater College Foundation Scholarship funds you can choose from.
