Class of '55 Student Off-Campus Study Award

The class of 1955 established the Class of ’55 Student Off-Campus Study Endowment Fund in honor of their 50th reunion. The class of 1955 understands that off-campus studies courses are increasingly valuable experiential learning opportunities, and that Cornell graduates who have taken off-campus studies courses are situated to stand out to future employers.

Eligibility requirements

If you plan to study off-campus, you may be eligible for the Class of ’55 Award. The Ingenuity in Action committee determines if the Class of ’55 Award is the appropriate funding source and the award amount based off of your scholarship application materials.

The committee considers the following criteria when determining your eligibility:

• You are a Cornell student studying off-campus domestically or internationally
• You must not be participating in an off-campus internship sponsored by the Berry Career Institute, Dimensions, or the Cornell Fellows program
• You cannot have already received a Class of ’55 Award

Former Class of ’55 Award recipients have been penning letters of thanks to the Class of 1955 for helping fund their off-campus studies.
