Inspiring the next generation of scientific leaders

Ranked by the Nature Index among the world's top five most innovative institutes, we empower scientists to pursue high-risk, high-reward ideas that transform our understanding of the world around us and lead to new technologies that shape that world. Through our Skaggs Graduate School of Chemical and Biological Sciences we’re inspiring and training the next generation of scientific leaders, ensuring the continued trajectory of scientific excellence for generations to come.

How donations empower future scientists | The Skaggs family’s impact

Why are donations important in empowering the future leaders of science? As a nonprofit organization, Scripps Research relies on generous contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations to support our many biomedical research and educational programs, including our top-10 ranked doctoral program. The most impactful and enduring of these contributions came from the Skaggs family, who have a long and storied history of supporting nonprofit biomedical research and education programs across the western United States. In 2018, Scripps Research announced that the Skaggs family made a lead gift through The ALSAM Foundation toward the institute’s $100 million campaign to establish endowed fellowships for students in its Graduate Program. In honor of this gift, the program was renamed the Skaggs Graduate School of Chemical and Biological Sciences.
