CoLA Undergraduate Scholarship Fund:  A scholarship fund to assist students who would be unable to continue at the university due to unexpected financial crises.  This fund provides a bridge that students need to cross over financial pitfalls that  would otherwise force them to leave school, such as paying for books or helping pay off their bursar bill.

The fund was depleted during the 2020-2021 academic year and the College has been unable to provide substantive assistance during the 2021-2022 academic year.
