College Walk Society
College Walk Society
The College Walk Society (CWS) is a leadership giving society for alumni, parents and friends of Columbia College who make a meaningful contribution in support of financial aid at the College. Members are the College’s most generous and loyal financial aid donors who share the belief that the opportunity to pursue knowledge should not be constrained by a student’s background or ability to pay. Members ensure that the College can uphold its commitment to meeting the demonstrated financial need of all of our students.
Membership
Membership in the College Walk Society begins at $100,000, with membership for Columbia College graduates of the last 15 years starting at $50,000.
A blend of endowed and current-use giving is preferred. The College’s long-term commitment to financial aid can only be secured through a dedicated and considerable endowment. At the same time, current-use gifts through the Columbia College Fund allow us to distribute funds right away and meet our commitments to current students.
Benefits
Members of the College Walk Society enjoy exclusive benefits, including special recognition, unique engagement opportunities and exclusive communications.
Opportunity to name a current-use or endowed scholarship
Annual update about the recipient of your scholarship
Invitation to the Dean’s Circle Reception and other exclusive events
Recognition on the College Walk Society website
Annual financial report for donors to endowed scholarships
