From Classroom Confidence to Career Readiness
For Scripps students, learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. Internships offer them career-defining clarity and confidence—yet many remain unpaid or underpaid. That’s where Scripps’ Internship Challenge comes in!
Thanks to the generosity of Carmen and Jim Ward P’28, from now until February 16, 2026, every gift to internship grants will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $35,000.
By giving, you’ll help level the playing field and kickstart opportunity. Let’s launch careers together!
