“A Columbia education is transformative for our students and financial need should not be a barrier to accessing it.”
- President Lee C. Bollinger

Columbia GSAPP is committed to support, empower, and launch the next generation of designers, thinkers, and planners. Columbia GSAPP is devoted to building on this success and to developing the supportive strategies needed to amplify the School’s unique ecology of diverse perspectives and ideas. In the spirit of shaping new scales of engagement across the built environment, we hope to:

• Increase individual awards— including a minimum of three full-tuition scholarships
• Incrementally increase the number of students who receive funding
  

Through the Core Excellence Scholarship Challenge, all new gifts made in support of endowed Financial Aid will be matched—dollar for dollar— through discretionary funds made available by Dean Amale Andraos. The challenge will match up to $2,000,000 for gifts made in support of endowed Financial Aid made by December 31, 2021. It is with the Core Excellence Scholarship Challenge that Columbia GSAPP hopes to continue the School’s legacy of breaking down barriers and creating new pathways for knowledge and practice.

GSAPP Endowed Scholarships Gifts in support of a financial aid endowment are an investment in GSAPP students and a commitment to attracting the best students to the School. GSAPP is grateful for the legacy and generosity of donors who have supported financial aid and have paid it forward for current GSAPP students.
