I donated a life insurance policy to a college, and they surrendered the policy. Is any part of the amount they received deductible by me?

You should be able to deduct the surrender value of the policy as a charitable donation to the college.  They must give you a receipt showing the date of the donation and the value.

Possibly. You must have written confirmation from the college to validate the deduction.
