      Under the Pathway to Success program, Cornell will commit funds in financial aid and other resources to expand community college transfer programs. More than 60 percent of Cornell students receive some sort of financial assistance, and the university vows to assist students in meeting 100 percent of such needs with a mixture of grants, loans and work-study.

      The other four-year institutions receiving funding through the Cooke Foundation program are Amherst College, Bucknell University, Mount Holyoke College, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Michigan, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Southern California.
