The countdown to Cornell Giving Day is on! In just two days, on March 12, consider making a donation to the Cornell Club of Chicago Scholarship. This scholarship supports students across Chicagoland to attend Cornell. With your help, we can make a difference for more students in our area.

This year, the Cornell Club of Chicago Board will unlock $1,000 once $3,000 is raised from alumni donors. Every gift—of any size—moves us closer to unlocking these additional funds for Cornell students.

I’m ready to support Cornell Club of Chicago Scholarship Fund on March 12, 2026 during Cornell Giving Day. Learn more about Cornell Club of Chicago Scholarship Fund
