He got the athlete scholarship. He enrolled in the university with other players of Persebaya Surabaya, Koko Ari and Andre Oktaviansyah. Other players had previously enrolled at the university. They were Alwi Slamat and Muhammad Hidayat.
“I doubted studying at this university because I was afraid I couldn’t manage my time. However, I found out that the Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya has a certain curriculum for athletes. It was fruitful, and I am glad,” said Ridho when applying at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya on November 1, 2022.
