Annual Fund

What is the Columbia College Annual Fund?

• It is the reoccurring, unrestricted financial support during the college's fiscal year (July 1-June 30).
• This support benefits current students in continuing to reach their educational goals.
• It is a benchmark of the involvement of our alumni with their alma mater for funding decisions made by foundations and corporations.

Why should I give to Columbia College?

• Support the mission of the college
• Provide students with a quality academic experience
• Invest in the future of a growing and transformational institution
• Provide a margin of excellence for the college to achieve our goals of superior teaching and improved facilities and technology
• Assure a legacy of generosity to Columbia College students for many years to come

A Columbia College education prepares students to compete in a rapidly changing global community. Whether you are an alumnus of home campus or one of our Nationwide Campuses, the college provides students with skills for critical and independent thinking and analytical reasoning.

Tuition alone never covers the complete cost of an education. Each year Columbia College alumni, parents, friends and businesses provide a significant portion of support for student scholarships, quality academic programs and faculty enrichment.
