Give to the Elsa Cortina Scholarship

Academics / Departments & Programs / Spanish / Scholarships / Give to the Elsa Cortina Scholarship

Imagine studying beneath the warm, Spanish sun. Through Calvin's study abroad programs, students can fly to Spain, explore the cities, and learn about the culture. However, the cost often prevents students from experiecing the excitement. Please join us in honoring Professor Elsa Cortina with this scholarship, and support our students' trips across the Atlantic.

Our goal is to raise at least $70,000 over a three-year period. Each year, this would enable two students to receive scholarships of $2,000 each, offsetting extra costs of studying abroad.

  • Four alumni giving $1000/year for three years would raise $12,000.
  • Ten alumni giving $500/year for three years would raise $15,000.
  • 60 alumni $100/year for three years would raise $18,000

You can make a gift online. Be sure to enter "Elsa Cortina Scholarship" in the "Other Designation" box on the giving form.
