A century ago, Ellen Browning Scripps made a transformational gift that reflected her belief in the limitless potential of women. As Scripps College celebrates its Centennial, we are proud to relaunch the Ellen Browning Scripps Society, honoring the community of supporters whose generosity has sustained that vision for 100 years and will carry it into the next century.
The Ellen Browning Scripps Society recognizes donors whose annual leadership giving of $2,000 or more during the Scripps Forward Centennial Campaign reflects a deep commitment to Scripps College and its mission. Their philanthropy helps ensure that Scripps remains a place where future generations of students can find their voices, pursue their ambitions, and make a meaningful impact in the world.
The Impact of Leadership Support
Leadership gifts recognized through the Ellen Browning Scripps Society make possible the experiences that define a Scripps education. From scholarships and faculty-student research to paid internships and campus preservation, this generosity expands opportunities for students and strengthens the College for generations to come.
Where Can I Direct My Gift?
The Ellen Browning Scripps Society recognizes leadership support across every area of the College. Gifts may be directed to annual or endowed scholarships, academic programs, student opportunities, campus preservation and enhancement, or the area of greatest need.
As Scripps enters its second century, this generosity continues to strengthen the College and expand opportunities for students.
You can make a gift online or contact Advancement Services to learn more about stock transfers, electronic funds transfers (EFT), and other giving options.
