The Columbia College Fund provides essential resources for financial aid, student services and the Core Curriculum — all fundamental aspects of the first-rate undergraduate experience that defines Columbia College.

Each dollar given to the College Fund translates into immediate support for the College's most pressing areas of need:

Financial Aid

Columbia maintains a steadfast commitment to attracting the most promising students regardless of family income. As the College embarks on a newly expanded financial aid program, the College’s need to secure unrestricted current-use funds is greater than ever.

Gifts to the College Fund provide qualified students with the resources they need to access the full scope of academic opportunities at Columbia.

The Core Curriculum

The hallmark of a Columbia College education, the Core Curriculum offers a comprehensive academic experience exploring various texts, documents and exemplary experiments in literature, philosophy, history, music, art and science.

Gifts to the College Fund help strengthen and sustain an important tradition that connects generations of Columbia students.

Student Services

The College continually strives to complement its rigorous academic experience with exceptional student services.

The College Fund supports efforts to expand the College’s broad range of advising services, career center resources and extracurricular programs.

Every Gift Counts

The Columbia College Fund measures its success both in terms of participation — how many alumni and friends make a gift each year — as well as in total dollars raised. Thus every gift to the College Fund, no matter the size, will make an impact.

When you make a gift to the College Fund, you affirm your role as a stakeholder in the College’s future and express your commitment to the success of both current and future students.

We hope you will support undergraduate education at Columbia by making a gift to the College Fund today.
