On Sept. 6th and Sept. 8th, 17 Scripps students presented their summer research, which was funded by various fellowships and scholarships, including Mellon Undergraduate Fellowships and Johnson Summer Student Research Grants. The symposium allows students to share their research with the greater Scrippscommunity. It is also a time for students to practice for senior thesis presentations.

“Scripps awards 5-8 Johnson Summer Students Research Grants each year. This award enables current Scripps students to complete interdisciplinary summer research,” according to theScripps Fellowships website.

The Johnson research grants must be interdisciplinary and students must have a Scripps faculty member as a sponsor advisor. Students who receive Johnson grants must present their research at Scripps the following fall.

Mellon Undergraduate Research Fellowships are designed to help students “gains critically important research skills and training in a faculty-directed research fellowships” and “to pursue their own research questions and more fully develop their senior theses with a pre-thesis fellowship,” described the Scripps Fellowship website.

Students conducted their research and presented on a wide variety of topics, in the U.S. and while abroad. Students interested in learning more about Scripps Student Fellowships and Scholarships can check out inside.scrippscollege.edu/fellowships.
