“Endowing scholarships at Columbia is important to bring the best and brightest students to Columbia who otherwise could not afford to come. My hope is that the recipients will similarly help future students. Meeting my scholarship students at the annual dinner reinforces that my contributions are well spent.”

“Up until receiving the James, Donald and Emily Margolis Scholarship Fund my sense of the Columbia community was somewhat limited, but now I see how powerful it can be. People continue to support their alma mater and her students long after they themselves graduate. Columbia is an amazing institution that I feel very lucky to attend, and it is thanks to kind people like Mr. Margolis that Columbia is affordable to every student admitted.”
