Calling all Columbia students and alumni!
Are you considering graduate study? Would you like to continue your education—either to advance in your current field or switch career paths? Then Columbia College Chicago would like to welcome you back. If you earned your bachelor's degree at Columbia and are admitted to one of our graduate master's degree programs, you are guaranteed the Columbia Rise Award—a renewable award equal to approximately four credit hours of tuition each semester.
This award is open to incoming graduate students who will start their programs in Fall 2023. The best part? There's no separate application; you're automatically reviewed for this opportunity when you apply. (Graduate certificate programs are ineligible for this award)
