Scholarships
Scholarships strengthen the University by helping to attract and retain the most promising and diverse pool of candidates for admission without regard for their ability to pay the full tuition. Our Financial Aid Office works with all students to assure that they receive the maximum aid for which they are eligible to make a Quinnipiac education more affordable.
A minimum of $25,000 or more will endow a named scholarship in perpetuity. Presidential Scholarships cover the full cost of attendance and are established with gifts of $500,000 that are matched by Quinnipiac. Annual scholarship funds may be established at any giving level.

Faculty Chairs
Quinnipiac University is committed to providing a supportive, stimulating and highly personalized environment for the intellectual and personal growth of all students. Central to this commitment is the faculty who are teacher-scholars, dedicated to both teaching and the pursuit of new knowledge through scholarly inquiry. Through their research, faculty contribute to national and international conversations with other scholars and enrich the diversity of ideas within the University community.
Endowed faculty positions allow Quinnipiac to attract and retain outstanding faculty and provide naming opportunities to the donor. Gifts of $1 million will be matched by Quinnipiac and will endow a faculty chair in perpetuity. Other opportunities for faculty support include named professorships and fellowships.

Academic Excellence and National Prominence
Foundation support is vital to supporting Quinnipiac University's strategic plan for academic excellence and national prominence. The plan calls for strengthening all of our schools and colleges, with particular attention on select priority areas identified for their potential to help Quinnipiac achieve and maintain a top-tier ranking among peer programs nationally. The primary beneficiaries of this initiative are Quinnipiac's students. Strengthening the University's curriculum and academic programs and retaining and recruiting top faculty are the best ways to ensure that the education Quinnipiac students receive is truly first rate.
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations works with foundations to help establish mutually beneficial relationships between foundation interests and Quinnipiac programs. The University is home to eight schools and colleges that offer a full range of programs in arts and sciences, business and engineering, communications, education, health sciences, law, medicine and nursing.
Quinnipiac University's 11 institutes and centers offer specialized opportunities for collaboration aimed at achieving the goals of both the University and its foundation partners. For instance, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Center for Science Teaching and Learning is revitalizing and supporting science education in Connecticut's K-12 classrooms by increasing student proficiency and achievement in science, the pursuit of science careers and overall science literacy.
Other opportunities for collaboration include our Writing Across the Curriculum program and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Service to Students.
