Opportunities exist to support Quinnipiac's strategic focus on academic excellence and national prominence through:
Presidential Scholars and Student Scholarships
Endowed scholarships strengthen the University by attracting and retaining the most promising candidates for admission without regard for their ability to pay the full tuition. An investment of $500,000 will be matched by Quinnipiac University to provide $50,000 income annually to cover the full cost of attendance. Endowed student scholarships begin at the $25,000 level and provide a minimum annual grant of $1,250 to qualified students. A minimum of $25,000 will endow a named scholarship in perpetuity. Annual scholarship funds may be established at any giving level. For further information on how scholarships impact the lives of our students, contact the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations.
Faculty Chairs
Endowed faculty positions allow Quinnipiac University to attract and retain outstanding faculty and provide naming opportunities to the donor. A $1 million investment is a lasting legacy that will be matched by the University to provide $100,000 annually to support distinguished professorships. Other opportunities for faculty support include named professorships and fellowships.
Research and Programs
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations coordinates efforts to match corporate needs with Quinnipiac University resources to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes. Quinnipiac University is home to eight schools and colleges that offer a full range of programs in arts and sciences, business, communications, education, health sciences, law, medicine and nursing.
Quinnipiac University's 11 institutes and centers offer specialized opportunities for collaboration.
