LAACU SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The LAACU scholarship fund makes it possible for more of today's young minds and future leaders to receive one of the world's best undergraduate educations available. Over the next five years, we are committed to raising $150,000 - just $30,000 per year - to be eligible for the Columbia College Scholars Match. We hope we can count on you to help us reach this important goal.
To make your gift using Columbia's safe and convenient giving site, please follow the steps listed on this page.
