Financial Aid's Ripple Effects

Many students can't imagine they'll be able to afford to attend Columbia. Sometimes, financial aid scholarships can help to pay their entire way — but equally important are gifts that close the financial gap just enough so a student can say Yes to Columbia. With that Yes, a student’s entire future changes.

Your gift allows a student the freedom to grow into their fullest potential. And, as you know, the full potential of a Columbia College student is powerful — even world-changing.

Ultimately, a gift of financial aid is not just about changing the course of one student's life. It’s about catalyzing the ripple effects that Columbia students make in the world when they are fully empowered.
