Last year we Brought Cornell Home to our local students by collecting $18,630 for our scholarship fund. Six local students received scholarships totaling $19,261. This year, recognizing that two of our students are avid sailors (and one almost made it to the Olympics), we are asking you to help Sail Our Students to Success by contributing to our scholarship fund. Our target for this year is $18,000.

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 does the amazing work of lightening my tuition-related financial burdens and grants me the luxury of extra time I can now place into my variegated studies and activities at Cornell.  I look forward to joining the alumni at the Cornell Club of Sarasota-Manatee and being able to give back to future students in need.”

“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.”
