Student Philanthropy

Student philanthropy begins with The Columbia Engineering Senior Fund: a committee of passionate Engineering seniors who aim to encourage the impact and importance of philanthropy within their class.

What We Do


The Columbia Engineering Senior Fund is dedicated to growing a culture of philanthropy among their peers and changing the future of Columbia Engineering. 

Members plan student events and programs, solicit gifts from their classmates, and help create a lasting legacy for their class.

Where We Give


Every donation to the Columbia Engineering Senior Fund goes directly to supporting current and future Engineering students. Students can choose to support an area meaningful to them, whether that is Undergraduate Scholarships, Student Life, or their department of choice.
