Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ Legacy Scholarship
(Formerly: Alumni Association Sons & Daughters Scholarship)
Potential recipients must be a current undergraduate Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ student and have a minimum of one (1) parent or grandparent who is a recipient of an undergraduate or graduate level Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ degree. Eligibility is contingent upon demonstrated significant financial need and good academic standing (3.0 cumulative GPA). All legacy sons, daughters, and/or grandchildren who are current undergraduate students are eligible for consideration. Those qualified will be reviewed by the Office of Financial Aid.
The purpose of the scholarship is to aid Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters who are current undergraduate students at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ; to encourage them to continue their hard work and to reward their high academic achievement, financial need, and school/community service in their first year and remaining years at Fairfield.
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. For more information, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.

“It is the thrill of a lifetime to share my Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆLegacy 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 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ69 years later, and experiencing Fairfield's growth in reputation and physical plant, is truly a blessing.”

“A Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆeducation 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, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆembodies 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.”
