A brief description of the institution’s targeted outreach to recruit students from low-income backgrounds:
Each fall the Admission Office hosts the program Discover Scripps. This program’s focus is on women of color, low-income and first generation students. Students are nominated by their high school counselor, and students selected for the program are brought to campus at the college’s expense. The program focuses on admission, financial aid, academics and the benefits of a liberal arts college and women’s college. Each fall we bring approximately 40 students to campus.
The Admission Office is in the process of creating a program in the local area that focuses on low-income and under-resourced schools. We are in the preliminary planning stages, but our hope is to create partnerships with colleges and help to educate students about the college search and application process.
Each April the Admission Office provides funding for admitted students to visit campus. The primary focus is women of color, and part of the selection criteria for a percentage of the group is based on financial need. In addition, low income admitted students may request a travel grant to visit campus. Grants are approved based on high financial need.
