PCCW GRANT PROGRAM

Since its founding in 1990, PCCW has raised over $297 million for the university. PCCW facilitates knowledge across academic disciplines through its research, leadership and mission-related grants for faculty, staff, students and other initiatives.

PCCW adheres to Cornell’s non-discrimination policy and therefore all Cornell faculty, staff, students and administrators are eligible to apply.

  • Advance academic promotion and tenure track; or
  • Give other evidence of advancement in their specific area of expertise.
