Surely.  Make \raggedcolumns the last command before \end{multicols}

Compare these two documents:


    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{multicol,lipsum}
    \begin{document}
    \clubpenalty10000
    \widowpenalty10000
    \begin{multicols}{2}
      \lipsum[1-22]
      \raggedcolumns
    \end{multicols}
    \end{document}

and

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{multicol,lipsum}
    \begin{document}
    \clubpenalty10000
    \widowpenalty10000
    \begin{multicols}{2}
      \raggedcolumns
      \lipsum[1-22]
    \end{multicols}
    \end{document}


By the way, maybe what you need is multicols*?

Good luck
