President Amy Marcus-Newhall

By certain economic and social measures, this is the best time to be alive. Extreme poverty worldwide has sharply declined in the past two centuries, the world鈥檚 literacy rate has increased to nearly 90 percent, and in the last 20 years, global college enrollment has more than doubled. These realities affirm our belief that education is an indisputable pathway to progress, peace, and possibility.

A liberal arts education further allows us to generate innovative solutions to humanity鈥檚 challenges by engaging across disparate disciplines, exploring multiple perspectives, and strengthening our understanding of one another. To remain a leader among women鈥檚 liberal arts colleges, Scripps continues to expand access to its transformative education.

That鈥檚 why the College launched the Scripps Access Initiative, a $15 million effort to increase scholarships so more high-achieving students, no matter their financial resources, can bring their unique viewpoints to campus and leverage the benefits of a Scripps education for themselves and others. In recognition of the College鈥檚 upcoming centennial, our first milestone is to raise $10 million by 2026.

Thanks to our dedicated community, I鈥檓 thrilled to announce that we have raised $9 million for the Scripps Access Initiative and are on track to reach our centennial goal on schedule as the number of donors continues to grow. This is cause for great celebration and profound appreciation. I am continually awed by the generosity of our community and the shared commitment to our current and future students.

At Scripps, we know that the answers to pressing global issues begin in classrooms, in the exchange of new ideas, in community-based scholarship, and in service to causes greater than our differences. Together, Scripps will grow as a hub for lasting impact鈥攂ecause when higher education is accessible to all, society flourishes.

With deep gratitude for your ongoing support,

Amy Marcus-Newhall
