The Paul K. and Evalyn E. Cook Richter Trust generously funds summer research virtually anywhere in the world, across all disciplines.
In fall of 2023, we honored study abroad students who demonstrated independence, initiative, creativity and scholarship in a demanding international setting. These attributes are consistent with the principles of Occidental's Richter Scholars program and have earned them a place in the ranks of exceptional Tigers dating back to the 1960's.
