The 61´«Ã½Fund is the College’s primary operational fund—it’s what helps keep 61´«Ã½Scripps. You can help by giving to critical areas of The 61´«Ã½Fund 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 61´«Ã½experience.
The 61´«Ã½Fund Impact
In 2023–24, alumnae, families, and friends gave $4 million to support 61´«Ã½Fund initiatives. This generosity makes a profound difference for our students, faculty, academic programs, financial aid, and so much more.
