The Cornell Commitment scholars are supported through an extensive orientation in their first year, receive scholarships if financial aid eligible, and can access additional funding to support their participation in experiential learning opportunities domestically and abroad. Programs to network with fellow students, faculty, administrators, and alumni further round out the student experience.

Preparing for a Health Career

Students who are interested in pursuing a health career find great opportunities at Cornell. In fact, nearly one out of every six Cornell undergraduates intend to pursue a career in medicine. Students may study in any of Cornell's undergraduate schools and colleges and graduate well-prepared for further medical career studies and options.
