The Golden Rams Fund supports Cornell Athletics by meeting unexpected equipment needs, upgrades to technology, uniforms, and jerseys, while also providing valuable part-time assistant coaches to ensure our student-athletes have the most fulfilling experience possible.
Cornell College consistently attracts motivated young people with remarkable minds and impressive academic credentials. Though rich in talent and scholastic ability, many of these students lack the resources to finance a Cornell education. The Cornell Scholars Program provides financial assistance to such students, impacting their academics and their lives.
