Amici cum Laude Award

The Amici cum Laude Award was created in 1996 to formally recognize those who have provided extraordinary friendship and support to Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. It is the highest honor the institution can bestow on its supporters from the community. Recipients receive special certificates of appreciation and honor. These awards are given on occasion by the Scripps director.
