1929 Fund

The 1929 Fund is a student-driven scholarship fund that is dedicated to supporting Quinnipiac students in need. Since its founding in 2021, the 1929 Fund has raised more than $125,000 for student scholarships, funding over $75,000 in scholarships to 14 students in just the past four years. Completely student-run, the 1929 Fund is powered by a passionate team of volunteers who plan events, raise awareness, and award scholarships that make a real difference. Our mission is simple: to unite the Quinnipiac community in helping fellow students achieve their educational goals. Follow us on Instagram @1929fund to see how we’re making an impact and how you can get involved.

In 1929, a small group of determined students set out to create an institution that would open doors—not just for themselves, but for their families and communities. Nearly a century later, the 1929 Fund honors that spirit of ambition and possibility. By providing crucial support, we help today’s students turn their dreams of a Quinnipiac education into reality—continuing the legacy of our founders for generations to come.

“I could never have had anything without them and this school. Along with the scholarship, it has brought me numerous opportunities to get involved with clubs, friends who have helped me every step along the way in succeeding, and connections to others. I’m very grateful to everybody on the committee, and everybody who welcomed me in.” -1929 Awardee from the Class of 2028
