About the CCLA Scholarship Endowment Fund:
 

How can you simultaneously have a wonderful time, meet new Cornellians and help provide much-needed scholarships for deserving Los Angeles Cornell students? The Club’s annual series of Scholarship Dinners & Events offers you a chance to have a great time while benefiting CCLA’s Scholarship Endowment.
 

For almost 30 years, scholarship dinners have been CCLA's principal means of building our Scholarship Endowment. Our donations from this fund to help Los Angeles-area Cornell students over the years have totaled more than $300,000, all thanks to our dedicated alumni who attend these events.

The University uses our annual donation to supplement the financial aid needs of about a dozen students from L.A. Note that 100 percent of net donations are going to the Endowment and your tax adviser can explain how your contribution may be deductible.
