Play a Part in Your Student’s Success
At Fairfield University, the parents and families of our students are an important part of our campus community. Your support and encouragement continue to play a key role in our students’ personal and professional development.
Parent Leadership Challenge
Parent Leadership Challenge
As Parents of Stags, you are part of a special community. Join the Parents Leadership Challenge and help your students explore opportunities and advance their curiosity through enhanced programs. We need the support of 500 parents to unlock a $100,000 Challenge gift to the Parents Fund, providing academic enrichment, student life and wellness initiatives, and financial support for our students in need.
The Parents Fund
The Parents Fund
Every year, Fairfield parents and families significantly impact their student’s education through gifts to the Parents Fund. We are grateful for your participation, as it enriches the student experience. Parent giving provides resources for student life activities, campus programs, and enables technology enhancements in the library, classrooms, and labs. These gifts also improve career service offerings and help to sustain a University-wide commitment to strong faculty-to-student ratios that assure small class sizes for a focused and engaging academic experience.
The power of thousands of Fairfield parents engaging in the experience and being ambassadors for the University is an important way to set our institution apart and ensure its future success.
Check out all of the ways parents can stay engaged with the University to ensure their student's success and assist in Fairfield's rise in our Parents Make the Difference brochure.
