James and Janice Turner Scholarship

John Henrik Clarke Tradition Fellowship

To direct your gift to any of these programs, you will need to specify the program area on theGiving Day website. To do so, select “Other” on the College drop down menu -> In the program drop down, select “Other” again ->Type in the name of the program/department listed above (please select only one per gift) in the box below and click next -> Complete thegiving form and know that you’ve made a huge impact on the Black community at Cornell!
