Alumni Memorial Scholars

Founded in 1946, the Alumni Memorial Scholars (AMS) is a vibrant learning community at Colgate focusing on academic excellence, and social and cultural enrichment.

The AMS community emphasizes growth and enrichment in four spheres: intellectual, social, cultural, and civic engagement. Prominent in an AMS student’s experience is the opportunity to receive grants up to a total of $5,000 to undertake a unique research or academic study experience on or off campus. Honoring the 166 Colgate alumni who sacrificed their lives in both of the World Wars, the AMS community is comprised of students from each class selected during the admissions process and AMS alumni.
