About ColbyAcademicsAdministrationAdmissionsAlumniAthleticsCampus LifeNews and Events
The Colby Fund Gifts to the Colby Fund are part of the bedrock of the College's success. Your contribution immediately helps current students by providing scholarship aid, faculty salaries, and library support, and by supporting athletics, clubs, and other campus activities. A Colby education currently costs approximately $65,900 per student, but the comprehensive fee this year is $48,520. Gifts to the Colby Fund go directly toward bridging the gap between fees charged to students and the real cost of a year at Colby.

It is important for me to give back to Colby and to maintain its tradition of excellence for future generations. Through GE’s generosity, I am able to take advantage of the company’s matching contribution for employees and retirees, which enhances my support of the Colby Fund and which doubles the impact of my gift.
