Student Scholarships

Perhaps no other gift transforms a student more directly than the gift of a scholarship. The honor of being recognized for one's academic achievement and potential, coupled with the financial aid needed to make a quality education possible, is a lifelong gift. It's a powerful way to make a personal difference in a Fairfield student's life.

Fairfield University offers two types of scholarships: Endowed and Restricted. Endowed scholarships - providing the gift of learning - are forever. Established with a minimum corpus of $50,000, they remain in perpetuity to provide deserving young men and women with equitable access to a high-quality Jesuit education, generation after generation. Fairfield scholarships are awarded annually to students based on scholastic achievement. Most scholarships are renewable with a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above.

You may endow a scholarship for a particular school or academic program, or to honor or memorialize a friend or relative. In addition, you may send a memorial scholarship gift of any amount to Fairfield University's communal memorial endowment fund.

• Please note: Financial aid has and always will remain a high priority at Fairfield as a pathway to those who desire the distinctive and powerful education our University offers. Gifts of any amount toward financial aid are critically important to aid the University in providing deserving young men and women access to a high-quality Jesuit education.
