Website: http://www.college.columbia.edu/alumni/giving/seniorfund/
E-mail: ccseniorfund@columbia.edu

DID YOU KNOW? Your tuition at Columbia covers LESS than TWO-THIRDS of what it costs to be a student here -- donations from people like you make up the difference.

DID YOU KNOW? Our new commitment to the ambitious financial aid program next year depends entirely on contributions like the Senior Fund -- donations from people like you ensures that future students receive the same opportunities that you had. Whether it's from everything that you've learned or everyone that you've met, giving back to the Senior Fund is a powerful demonstration of your investment in Columbia's future.

What can I do?
The Senior Fund gives you the option to direct where your donation goes -- financial aid, student affairs, core curriculum, internship (Stipend Fund), or an unrestricted fund -- and allows you to make a donation in honor of a Columbia professor, administrator, or staff member who has inspired you here. You can donate your gift via cash, FLEX, credit card, or a check.

How can I give to the Fund?
http://www.college.columbia.edu/alumni/giving/seniorfund/
or send an e-mail to ccseniorfund@columbia.edu
We look forward to your continued support of our Columbia!
