A campaign for Cornell
To do the greatest good
Cornell launched its $5 billion fundraising campaign in the fall of 2021, and in the College of Arts & Sciences, we’re focusing our campaign efforts on five key areas vital to our continued growth and excellence: faculty renewal and support; research and scholarly impact; academic innovation; student support and public engagement.
Your gift can support faculty like Britney Schmidt, who’s exploring Earth’s oceans to learn more about Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. It can fund bold, high-potential research projects in their early stages, through the A&S New Frontier Grants, research like Tristan Lambert’s into ways to capture and reuse carbon dioxide. Or it can help students afford unpaid summer career experiences, students such as Emma Harte ’22, a biology major who spent the summer studying coastal waterbirds in Massachusetts.
Learn more about our plan for the next decade and how your gift can help our faculty and students to “do the greatest good.”
Summer Experience Grant
Help our students explore their dreams by giving a gift toward Summer Experience Grants. These funds help our students afford the costs of unpaid or low-paid internships and career exploration opportunities by covering their living expenses, transportation and travel during the summer.
Cornell Promise
In the wake of the pandemic, the need for financial aid has increased dramatically. A gift of any size to the Cornell Promise Annual Fund Scholarships for Arts & Sciences will help us to ensure every student is able to complete their Cornell education, regardless of their ability to pay.
Annual Fund
Gifts to the Arts & Sciences Annual Fund strengthen all of the foundational work of the college: scholarships for deserving students, funds to hire the best and brightest faculty and support for innovative new teaching methods.
