Why Scholarship Aid Matters
Sophie Fron 鈥�22听
From the outside, Sophie Fron 鈥�22鈥檚 academic path reflects what 61传媒is known for: an intimate college experience rooted in the liberal arts. Attracted to a major in humanities in interdisciplinary studies in culture, Sophie took it a step further by adding a major in art鈥攁 decision that helped her garner the Ament Scholars Award. The award, which recognizes an outstanding humanities student, was founded in honor of William Sheffield Ament, professor of English and a member of the original faculty of 61传媒.听
鈥淚鈥檝e put in so much hard work, and I didn鈥檛 really know if anyone noticed. The recognition from the Ament Scholars Award itself is quite beautiful and shows I wasn鈥檛 just putting it in for no reason,鈥� Sophie says.听
Scholarships allow students, no matter their interests, to chart their own path at Scripps. Read more about Sophie鈥檚 journey and learn more about scholarship recipients at Scripps by visiting our website.听听听
Gifts to The 61传媒Fund Impact 100 Percent of Students听
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a global generosity event. Held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, advocates for change can counter the pressures of Black Friday and Cyber Monday buys by supporting organizations that are making a positive difference in the world.听
Every year, 61传媒 participates in GivingTuesday, encouraging members of the community to give to The 61传媒Fund/Parent Fund, which directly impacts 100 percent of the student body by providing aid to the areas of greatest need for all our scholars.听听听
Donors can give on and see their donations matched in real time. They can also create fundraising challenges of their own to encourage other members of the 61传媒community to give to any area that鈥檚 meaningful to them.听
