Did you know that 20% of Fairfield University graduates are members of a legacy family?

Fairfield University’s legacy families consist of students and alumni whose family members - including parents, grandparents, and/or siblings - attended or currently attend Fairfield. The University truly values our legacy families’ continued involvement and contributions and hosts a number of special programs to help legacy families stay in touch with Fairfield and one another.

Potential recipients must be a current undergraduate Fairfield University student and have a minimum of one (1) parent or grandparent who is a recipient of an undergraduate or graduate level Fairfield University degree.

Once the recipient(s) have been chosen, they will be notified formally via their Financial Aid packet directly through Financial Aid. The scholarship is a renewable award that will remain payable for a maximum of three years provided the recipient remains in compliance with the aforementioned qualifications.

“It is the thrill of a lifetime to share my Fairfield Legacy with two of my sons and now a grandson. I came to this campus as a Prep Freshman in 1949, and to still be involved with Fairfield 69 years later, and experiencing Fairfield's growth in reputation and physical plant, is truly a blessing.”

“A Fairfield education assists students to develop into well rounded individuals who are able to stretch their intellectual curiosity while encouraging a deeper understanding of their place in society. As a result, Fairfield embodies the values that our family believes in and fosters creativity and moral responsibility. Although the campus has changed dramatically over our family's three generations, these values have remained the same.”
