You're building your future, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.

One of the reasons why we chose Columbia College was because it was a set cost. The books were provided in the cost and that way we knew how much to pay each time around. It made the most sense for us. We have a tight budget and the scholarship was a huge blessing that I didn’t expect to receive. I was on the grind and trying to claw my way out of poverty. I needed the generosity of others to help lift me up.

The Hulett Family Criminal Justice Graduate Study Scholarship - 2021 Recipient

As a single mother working two jobs, Columbia College has helped me by allowing me to take six courses a semester while juggling life, work, and school. The amazing staff and instructors are so nice and understanding. They know exactly how hard you must work to accomplish your goals, and they are with you the whole way.

Columbia College has given me so many experiences and skills that I never would've developed otherwise. Through being in the Emerging Leaders Institute, becoming a first-year mentor, and just getting to know everyone on campus, I have become a better student, leader, peer and friend. I came into college nervous and apprehensive, and I have grown into a confident and knowledgeable person. Columbia College has made me into the person who I am now, and I am forever thankful.
