Did you know that 100% of EC students are offered merit scholarships and 92% receive some type of need-based assistance? Join our two annual days of giving – Giving Tuesday and Elmira Everlasting – to help support continued scholarships and need-based aid to EC students.
Elmira Everlasting is the College’s 24-hour giving challenge that takes place annually on the fourth Wednesday of April.

Retaining their titles were the Class of 2008 as Most Everlasting Class and the Class of 2025 as Most Everlasting Current Class. In addition to bragging rights, these classes are recognized with a banner displayed in the Campus Center.
The Fund for Elmira College supports the College’s greatest needs each year — from direct student support and scholarships to buildings and grounds to classroom upgrades and enhancements. Please give generously to ensure that our students have what they need when they need it most.
Elmira College's new multi-sport turf field enhances the College’s athletics, and also supports enrollment and retention efforts as well as providing support to mental and physical well-being on campus as identified in the College’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan.
