Friends of Ithaca College

Ithaca College is Ithaca's college.

Ithaca College has been fortunate to have a supportive and generous local community. Indeed, IC couldn't have survived since 1892 without the Friends of Ithaca College. The college's history is brimming with dedicated neighbors and generous local organizations who stepped forward to help the college and our students succeed. 

The Friends of Ithaca College Mission

Develop and foster the relationship between Ithaca College and the community and to support a scholarship program at Ithaca College for deserving local-area students.
