Celebrate 65 Years of CCSM 
Help Local Students Attend Cornell
| Support our Scholarship Fund because 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 aid. The fund and choice of students are administered by the university. Currently, Cornell tuition is $60,286, plus $16,396 for housing and dining and $3,605 for books, fees, and miscellaneous expenses for a total of $80,287, excluding transportation. Local students with demonstrated financial need are given assistance with a combination of grants (such as from our fund), loans, and work-study. In honor of the club’s 65th anniversary and as part of our “65 for 65” campaign, we have set a goal that 65% of our member households contribute a gift of $65 or a multiple of that number to the scholarship fund this year. Please consider a gift now and help us reach our goal. To learn more about the amazing local students who recently graduated or are currently attending Cornell, login to membership news to view the presentation that was shown at our January luncheon where we honored our local students and their parents/guardians. |

How Our Fund Works
The Cornell Club of Sarasota-Manatee Scholarship Fund is an endowed scholarship fund, administered by Cornell and used to supplement the financial aid given to our local students. Cornell collects the gifts and designates them for local students, decides how to invest the money and how much money is paid out each year, and determines which local students receive the money. Cornell gives over $333M in aid each year and approximately half of all students receive some sort of financial aid. The mean amount given is $45,000.
Cornell manages endowed funds like ours to last in perpetuity. To this end, each year Cornell allocates a percentage to determine that year’s payout amount. Below are the numbers for our fund:
Amount Given to our Fund in Calendar Year 2021: $5,735Market Value of Fund as of 9/30/2021: $533,591
Payout for Fiscal Year 2021: $17,387
