Last year, as part of our "65 for 65" campaign, 66% of our member households contributed $22,732 to our scholarship fund. Thank you for your support! 

This year's campaign, "Bring Cornell Home: To Do Good for Our Great Local Students," ties into Cornell’s To Do the Greatest Good campaign and highlights the fact that your gifts bring Cornell home by helping Sarasota and Manatee County students benefit from all the opportunities Cornell offers.

Every gift, small or large, impacts the availability of money for our students from Sarasota-Manatee who are attending Cornell and who demonstrate need for financial assistance.  

Here are some comments from some recent scholarship recipients:

“This scholarship comes as an immense benison [blessing], lightening my financial burdens and allowing me to continue placing the most effort possible into my studies at Cornell.”

“Your scholarship allows me to continue my time at Cornell without taking on interest accruing loans this academic year, and it gives me peace of mind to know there are people in my hometown looking out for me during my time at such a wonderful school.”

“I want to thank you for your generous contribution to making my Cornell experience possible.”

To learn more about the amazing students who are currently attending Cornell, view the presentation (CCSM Members only, please log in first) that was shown at our January 2023 luncheon where we honored our local students and their parents/guardians.
