Staying involved pays off—literally. Twelve first and second-year students earned grants for attending the most events. See who brought home the $500, $1,000, and $1,500 awards.
Congratulations to the Twelve Engage Columbia Grant Winners!
We are excited to announce the twelve recipients of this year’s Engage Columbia Grant, awarded to first and second-year students who attended the most events during the first six weeks of the Fall semester.
Engage Columbia is designed to help new students explore campus life, connect with community, and discover the many resources Columbia offers. Students who participated attended events across six key categories: Activities and Leadership, Belonging and Community, Wellness and Safety, Financial Literacy, Academic Resources, and Career Planning.
This year’s winners showed exceptional engagement by actively participating in programs throughout all six categories, earning one of twelve grants valued at $500, $1,000, or $1,500.
Please join us in celebrating their commitment to getting involved, building community, and making the most of their Columbia experience!
Congratulations to all of our winners!
