Get $200 added to your gift

When you make a gift to any of Cornell’s undergraduate scholarship funds by Homecoming weekend, we’ll add $200 to the fund you support. And gifts of ALL sizes count.

The first 250 donors to give to Cornell scholarships before Homecoming will each secure an extra $200. That’s a total of $50,000 in extra support for scholarships, thanks to the generosity of challenge donor and Board of Trustees Chair Kraig Kayser MBA ’84!

How gifts of all size make a difference

Cornell Then vs. Now

Students who receive financial aid (about half of the student body) will pay less to attend Cornell than they did 20 years ago. Your gifts help make this possible.
