The Scripps Fund

science students confer with a professor

The Scripps Fund is the College’s primary operational fund—it’s what helps keep Scripps Scripps. You can help by giving to critical areas of The Scripps Fund that directly support students, such as scholarships, internships, academic programs, and mental health and wellness. Each year, alumnae, families, and friends make gifts between $5 and $100,000 to the fund, making an immediate and meaningful impact on the Scripps experience.

The Scripps Fund Impact

In 2023–24, alumnae, families, and friends gave $4 million to support Scripps Fund initiatives. This generosity makes a profound difference for our students, faculty, academic programs, financial aid, and so much more.
