Since 1988, the Fairfield Awards Dinner has been a true celebration of Fairfield and has raised more than $18 million for the Alumni Multicultural Scholarship Fund and other endowed scholarships to help students realize their full potential through a Fairfield education, regardless of economic or social barriers. Fairfield’s flagship fundraising event for scholarship celebrates inclusive excellence, and the Awards Dinner also honors the achievements and volunteer service of alumni, parents, faculty, and staff.

“I invite you to consider attending or supporting the Fairfield Awards Dinner in any capacity in which you are able to do so," said Claretta S. Mills ’16, a past scholarship recipient and 2019 Awards Dinner Committee member. "The critical funds raised through the dinner support the Alumni Multicultural Scholarship fund and other endowed scholarships that provide talented students with the opportunities they deserve.”

Mills, a Bronx, N.Y. native, explained that her Fairfield experience was made possible through scholarship and afforded her opportunities beyond what she cold have imagined.

"Fairfield allowed me to grow academically, spiritually, and personally," Mills continued. "Please join me and your fellow Stags to celebrate the future of inclusive excellence at Fairfield University."
