As a University with a longstanding tradition of welcoming first-generation students, we must provide equitable access to a Fordham education. There are many students, of all backgrounds, who would thrive here if they saw Fordham as their home—a place of abundant opportunities for everyone. Gifts towards scholarships will enable Fordham to welcome students with world-changing potential, regardless of financial need, and ensure that we can support each student’s growth and development.
“Scholarships are at the heart of Fordham’s mission, and are central to the Jesuit notion of service to the human family. Scholarships transform individual lives, of course, but in democratizing education and knowledge, they also help create a more just world and a more equitable society.” - Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham
