Cornell Annual Fund for Arts and Sciences

“I would not be at Cornell University without the generosity of the financial aid program, and for that I am very grateful. Because of financial aid, I have the opportunity to study at a world-renowned institution, and to pursue a career I love at my number one college choice. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to follow my dreams!”
—Kathleen Anderson, A&S ’24

In an era defined by rapid social, technological, and economic changes, the liberal arts model of education and inquiry is more relevant today than ever before.
