Student Challenge
Join the Challenge
On Wednesday, October 25, join the Student Challenge by posting a photo or video to the Columbia Giving Day photobooth below, along with a message of thanks for donors. Posts can feature your favorite Columbia memory, a group picture with friends you met in class, the best place to study on campus, or even your favorite late-night snack—anything goes!
Five students will be chosen to designate $500 in Giving Day Challenge funds to the Columbia school, program, or cause of their choice.
“Generous scholarships and donations play a pivotal role in shaping my educational journey at Columbia Engineering. As a female computer science student closing the gender gap in STEM, these contributions have eased financial burdens but have also fostered devotion and excitement for learning, as my dream has always been to create inspiration for women like myself to pursue their passions limitlessly.”
