Does the James E. Scripps Scholarship still exist?

I found this information: http://www.scrippscollege.edu/admission/jess

So, yes, it appears to still exist, though since there aren’t any mentions of an early deadline on the merit scholarship page, I assume that isn’t the case anymore. It used to be the early deadline probably because they had the JES day earlier (Feb, I believe), but since it is now part of Admitted Students Day in April, I assume they don’t need the extra time.

There is no certain criteria—at least not any published criteria and does not require a separate application (the merit scholarship page states :

Scripps College offers several merit-based scholarships, ranging from $10,000 to $22,000. These scholarships are awarded to students based on demonstrated academic performance and school or community involvement.

All applicants to the College—with the exception of transfer applicants—are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships. Notification of scholarships takes place at the time of admission and the scholarships are renewable for each of the student’s four years at the College.
