The Cornell Tradition Fellowship

The Cornell Tradition Fellowship "I have always been in favour of combining labour and study." -Ezra Cornell, 1846

Representing just 4% of the Cornell undergraduate population, The Cornell Tradition Fellowshipis a contemporary expression of the founder's vision. The program awards approximately 500 fellowships each year to students who demonstrate significant work experience, campus and/or community service, and academic achievement. Through The Cornell Tradition, students make meaningful contributions to camp

us life that will enhance their own education and those of generations to come. At the same time, these students reduce their level of indebtedness incurred in obtaining a Cornell degree. True to the founder's ideals, the Tradition supports the development of fellows into well-rounded, productive members of society who will serve as the role models and leaders of tomorrow.

Cornell Tradition founder Chuck Feeney once said, “I’m happy when what I’m doing is helping people and unhappy when what I’m doing isn’t helping people.”
To all our graduates — continue to be that helper.
Help in any way you can — whether it’s kids, animals, a blood drive, or simply showing someone how to use Excel.
We need as many helpers as possible in the world.
Congratulations to the graduating class of 2026!
