Ridley Scholarships

The Ridley Scholarship Selections Committee selects scholarship recipients based upon several factors: high academic performance, leadership, and community service. Admitted students apply directly to the Fund for consideration after April 1st of each year. This application serves as the universal application for many of the scholarships listed below.  Ridley Scholars are assigned alumni mentors and may apply to renew their scholarships contingent upon satisfying performance criteria.
