About

Your Cortland Challenge gift to the Study Abroad and International Programs Office will allow students to experience the world beyond SUNY Cortland.

Your support will go directly towards scholarships and can make studying abroad a reality for students who might not have this opportunity otherwise. Additionally, your generosity can provide small grants for textbooks, helping international students get the resources they need to succeed at SUNY Cortland.

With 50+ study abroad programs and partnerships with universities in 25 countries, SUNY Cortland empowers students to gain global perspectives, develop intercultural skills, and navigate global challenges.

Our campus is also home to over 100 international students who enrich our community with diverse cultures and perspectives.

Your gift will truly make a difference - helping students access life-changing international opportunities!
