By creating the Honors College in 2001, Chancellor Matthew Goldstein underscored his conviction that equity and excellence can and must coexist in public higher education. Renamed in 2006 as Macaulay Honors College, this exemplar of entrepreneurship in education serves as the engine of the CUNY renaissance. As the flagship honors program at CUNY, Macaulay Honors College makes good on CUNY's promise to provide a competitive public option to New York's most talented students.

Your Impact

Macaulay Honors College has met with great success raising funds to ensure its future, with over $50 million in private donations in support of current students and academic programs. Every Macaulay student receives a full-tuition scholarship and a laptop computer, and can apply for up to $7,500 from an "Opportunities Fund" that supports global study, independent research, internships, and community service projects.

The Honors College was built on a model of public-private partnership, with the State of New York providing scholarships for the students, and private, unrestricted donations supporting all program enhancements, including the Opportunities Fund.

Unrestricted gifts can support the Opportunities Fund--an important source of support for undergraduate study abroad, internships, and research experience.
