1929 Fund

The 1929 Fund is a student-driven scholarship fund. Founded in 2021, our mission is to bring the Quinnipiac community together to help support our fellow students in need. Over the past two years, the first classes of 1929 scholarship awardees received over $50,000 in support because of students like you. We are completely student-run, and have a dedicated team of student volunteers planning events and awarding scholarships. Follow us on Instagram at @1929fund to learn more.

Quinnipiac University was founded in 1929 by a small group of students who wanted an education that would help them build better lives for themselves and their families. Nearly a century later, The 1929 Fund carries on the legacy of our university’s founders by supporting students’ dreams of attending college.
