In these times, helping our students find the financial resources they need to complete their Columbia educations is our number-one fundraising priority. So we’re pleased to announce the Scholarship Columbia challenge grant, a five-year, $1-million challenge to raise unrestricted scholarship dollars for deserving students with demonstrated need.


Your donations to Scholarship Columbia help:

• Reduce students' tuition and expenses while attending Columbia College Chicago
• Support students' pursuit of a quality education in the arts and media
• Enliven and accelerate annual giving college-wide

If you're an alum of Columbia College Chicago, the Scholarship Columbia challenge grant will match your donation 2 to 1 up to $25,000. And even if you didn't attend the college, we'll match your contribution 1 to 1. Alumni gifts above $25,000 will also be matched 1 to 1.*
