Incoming student Kadidia Keita said she was so excited to learn she was admitted to Fordham—with a sizable scholarship. But her family still couldn’t afford the remaining tuition. She was about to decline.  

“Then Fordham sent me an email saying that I was eligible to apply for this emergency fund. I requested more money, and they really pulled through,” said Kadidia Keita, an incoming first-year psychology student who plans on commuting to Fordham College at Lincoln Center from her home in the Bronx. “My parents will have a much easier time affording this, we don’t have to take out loans, and now I can go to my dream school.”

Keita is among 14 incoming first-year students who were awarded “last-dollar” financial aid to help them attend Fordham this fall. The scholarship fund, which was created by University trustees earlier this year, aims to retain students who may not be able to attend Fordham otherwise and to encourage a diverse student body. 

The creation of the fund coincides with a large jump in the number of underrepresented first-year undergraduates arriving on campus this fall, compared to last year. The number of Black students increased from 77 to 211; the number of Latinx students increased from 337 to 528. 

“We were able to use this money to help meet the gap between the financial aid package we originally offered our students and what they needed to attend,” said Jaime Harkin, associate director of student financial services.

Individual award amounts range from $3,000 to $8,000, said Harkin. More than $60,000 has been distributed to students so far. The University is currently reviewing candidates to receive support from the fund for the upcoming academic year. 

Eileen FitzGerald Sudler, TMC ’71, a member of the Board of Trustees who made a gift to the fund, said the board is “really committed” to helping students with this scholarship money.

“Sometimes it’s a matter of a few thousand dollars. Even with a full scholarship, there are other costs involved. And there are families who cannot flip that bill—a couple of thousand dollars, whether those are for books, fees, or commuting,” said Sudler. “On an ethical and moral basis, it’s really the fiber of what Fordham was founded to do. And we’d like to see great strides in this.” 

In a phone conversation, Keita said she was initially attracted to Fordham’s psychology program, the University’s proximity to her high school in the Bronx, and the beauty of the Rose Hill campus. After speaking with trustee Valerie Irick Rainford, FCRH ’86, she said she felt more compelled to apply to Fordham. 

Coming from the South Bronx, she said, there’s a certain pressure in attending what she called a PWI, or a predominantly white institution. 

“I was very nervous about what the sense of community would be like for me. But Ms. Rainford made it so clear to me that Fordham had a really great sense of community, and that’s what hooked me even more to the school,” Keita said.

The following spring, when Keita received her acceptance letter along with a large scholarship from Fordham, her family was struggling. They were still recovering after a fire ravaged their home last year, and her father, the family breadwinner, had lost his job in March 2020 and was still looking for full-time work, she said. They couldn’t afford to pay the remaining $12,000 per year in Fordham tuition. But thanks to the Diversity Fund, which covers more than three-quarters of the remaining cost, she said she could afford to attend Fordham. 

“I’m so looking forward to making new friends of different races, cultures, and backgrounds and to participate in clubs, especially MSA [the Muslim Students Association], because I’m Muslim,” said Keita, who plans on becoming a child psychologist or therapist for minority children in her community.  

Kweku Andoh, an incoming first-year marketing student at the Gabelli School of Business, said the fund has helped him and his family, too. Andoh is originally from Washington, but he and his parents—a federal employee and a member of the U.S. Army for more than two decades—have been stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, over the past five years.

“This has been an incredibly stressful few months for my family moving back overseas from Germany, and the Diversity Fund has definitely helped to alleviate some of that stress,” Andoh wrote in an email. “I’m really looking forward to receiving a top-tier education that I know will immensely prepare me for my time after Fordham, and also becoming a part of an educational community that makes me feel welcome and will be another place for me to call home.”

The scholarship will provide financial aid to high-achieving undergraduates in the Gabelli School of Business, and is funded in part by a generous matching grant from Mario Gabelli, Class of ’65, and his wife, Regina Pitaro, FCRH ’76. More than 65 other Fordham alumni and friends helped create the endowed fund.

“Brian Mulkeen went out into the world to do exactly what we expect of our alumni—be a man for others—and he was slain in service to the local community,” said Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, at the time of Mulkeen’s death.

The 33-year-old officer was a standout student athlete during his time at Fordham, and had agreed to return to Fordham as a volunteer coach before he was killed. After graduating from Fordham, Mulkeen went to work on Wall Street, but eventually left finance to join the NYPD, where he served for almost six years.

“Brian Mulkeen was living the American dream,” Gabelli said. “He could have had anything, but he decided to serve his city and community as a police officer instead. Regina and I thought a scholarship in his name at the business school is a way to honor his roots and his sacrifice.”

Donna Rapaccioli, Ph.D., dean of the Gabelli School and a member of its Class of ’83, said the scholarship will support academically high-performing students who might be unable to stay at the University without financial aid.

“Though nothing can repair the tragedy of Brian’s death, we hope this scholarship will keep his memory alive at Fordham and serve as an example to our students for the kind of dedication and integrity we champion,” Rapaccioli said. “Brian truly was a man for others, and his named scholarship is an honor to the school.”

Through GSE’s Center for Catholic School Leadership and Faith-Based Education, students employed as full-time professionals in faith-based non-public schools can receive a 40 to 50 percent tuition discount for up to six credits each semester.

“From 2010 to the spring of 2019, over 1,200 students have benefited,” said Cristiana Ritchie-Carter, associate director of the Center. “Not just across New York City—all around us.”

The scholarship program, which developed through long-standing relationships with the Catholic community, continues to help teachers, principals, superintendents, counselors, bishops, and professors from almost every continent, Ritchie-Carter said. Perhaps more importantly, it has made master’s and Ph.D. programs more affordable for full-time educators.

Cutting Costs for Teachers of Students at Risk

Such is the case for teachers at Cornelia Connelly Middle School of the Holy Child, an independent Catholic school for at-risk girls across New York City. The school serves almost 100 low-income students whose average household income amounts to $26,742. In the 2017-18 school year, the school paid $16,415 for each student’s education, while families paid only $660. That means their teachers don’t earn as much as public school teachers in a suburban setting, said the school’s principal.

“What I’m able to offer our staff is not necessarily comparable even to the public school model,” said Shalonda Neeley Gutierrez, FCRH ’96, the school’s principal. “Fordham’s partnership with the 40 percent-off tuition really opens up the doors for our teachers.”

One of those educators is Emma Linsenmeyer, GSE ’20, a fifth-grade teacher at the middle school.

“When I was looking at different programs, Fordham stood out to me because of this opportunity,” said Linsenmeyer, who studies general and special education at Fordham. “There was nowhere else [in New York City]that was offering that kind of benefit to teachers in my position.”  

One of her colleagues, Katherine Hager, GSE ’18, said the scholarship saved her almost $20,000 in tuition over a two-year span. Hager, a fourth-grade teacher who received her master’s degree in childhood literacy, said her Fordham education has also taught her how to tailor her content to her young students.

“My time at Fordham really enabled me to take time to reflect on my teaching and my practice that I had done prior to Fordham, and decide how I could change it to be more culturally relevant and relatable for my students,” she said.

Her classroom currently has 18 girls: the majority of them Latina and the first in their families to potentially graduate from college. Thanks to her professors at Fordham, Hager said, she made sure her students had access to books like “Drum Dream Girl”—a story about a Cuban girl named Millo Castro Zaldarriaga—that they could relate to.

“I made it an effort of mine to be sure that the students were reading books where they were seeing themselves in the characters, and they could connect to what they were reading in a way that was close to home,” Hager explained.

Returning to Jesuit Roots

Another alumna who benefited from both the scholarship and a Fordham education is Noelle Beale, Ph.D., GSE ’12, regional superintendent for the Catholic schools of Central Westchester and adjunct professor at GSE.

Student loans can snowball as time passes, particularly for those who pursue postgraduate degrees, Beale said. Thanks to the GSE tuition discount, she was able to avoid borrowing money for her doctorate degree.  

“By the time you get to pursuing a doctorate, you have undergraduate expenses. You have graduate expenses. And so to then add doctoral expenses would be a very significant amount of money,” said Beale, who earned a doctorate in educational leadership, administration, and policy from Fordham. “If I had to have paid the entire tuition out of pocket, I likely would have needed to incur some student loan debt.”

Her Fordham education has also redefined her role as an administrator. She now navigates student discipline issues in a more holistic way, she said. The same applies to the way she speaks with students and staff.

“The way in which I view things,” said Beale, who also received her bachelor’s degree from Fordham College at Rose Hill, “is very much about that concept of the whole person: that we educate body, mind, and soul.”

The partnership will offer a 40 percent tuition reduction to up to 15 students who have served in a volunteer position within the organization.

“We expect that this partnership will, over the next five years, bring dozens of students to GRE, as well as offer affordable opportunities for missionaries and volunteers to advance their careers and ministries,” said Jodi Hunt, GRE’s director of admissions.

In addition to providing aid, the partnership also serves GRE’s Jesuit mission of encouraging students “to integrate academic knowledge with personal wisdom, and to serve the church and society as committed and compassionate leaders.”

“We will be able to lend support to those who have served the Church and would like to continue doing so,” said Hunt. “It increases our outreach to educating those devoted to the Church.”

The Catholic Volunteer Network is an organization that offers faith-based volunteer opportunities to people of all ages, backgrounds, and skills. CVN focuses on volunteer recruitment, training and resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy. It is currently the leading membership organization of Christian volunteer and mission programs.

The network has over 2,000 alumni eligible for the partnership’s benefits.

This month, the Cunniffes have taken their philanthropy to an even higher level, with a transformative $20 million gift that will be devoted to funding student financial aid.

The newly titled Maurice and Carolyn Cunniffe Presidential Scholars Program will encompass one of the largest merit scholarships available to Fordham students, and will pave the way for a new generation of women and men to receive a comprehensive Jesuit education.

Presidential scholars are generally ranked in the top 1–2 percent in their high school class, excel in academics and extracurricular activities, and exhibit leadership in their academic and personal lives.

With the new funding, the program will challenge the scholars and enrich their undergraduate experience through partnerships among key academic units across the University, including undergraduate dean’s offices and the Office of Prestigious Fellowships. The gift will also support summer programs focusing on service learning, experiential learning through international immersion, professional internships, research opportunities, and close mentoring by faculty.

Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, called the gift—the second largest in the University’s history—a monumental display of generosity, one that puts Fordham’s current campaign for financial aid at $82 million towards a $175 million goal.

“We renamed the administration building Cunniffe House to acknowledge Mo and Carolyn’s great generosity and service to Fordham, as well as their integrity and steadfastness,” Father McShane said. “Having known Mo for more than two decades, I can say with authority that his accomplishments and humility are unparalleled. It is very much Fordham’s honor to have their names associated with our most prestigious scholars.”

Mo Cunniffe has been a part of the Fordham family for almost seven decades. A child of Irish immigrants in the Bronx, he lived within walking distance of the Fordham Rose Hill campus. He graduated from Fordham Preparatory School in 1950 and enrolled in the University, where he earned a degree in physics. After graduating, he went on to become a successful engineer, businessman, and entrepreneur. He served on Fordham Prep’s board of trustees from 1983-1995 and the University’s board of trustees from 1995-2003.

Carolyn Cunniffe received her bachelor’s degree from Fordham College at Rose Hill, and her master’s and doctoral degrees from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. She was a vice president at Revlon and Chanel before joining Cablevision systems, where she was a senior vice president. She currently serves on the board of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, and Fordham’s Board of Trustees.

In 2010, Mo Cunniffe received the Fordham Founder’s Award, recognizing the ways in which his life reflects the University’s defining traditions, and at Fordham’s 171st Commencement ceremony in May, the University bestowed upon him an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters, for his role as one of the University community’s most vital and longstanding supporters.

He said that his latest gift not only recognizes and supports the place that has been like a home for nearly his entire life, but also makes it possible for more generations to follow in his steps.

“We believe in Fordham and its mission,” Mo Cunniffe said. “Fordham has educated people of all social strata, including immigrants and students without funds. It makes all kinds of sense to us to continue to support this mission, which is also in the interest of society.”

Roger A. Milici Jr., vice president for development and University relations at Fordham, called the gift a bold investment in humanity and in the promise that future Cunniffe Presidential Scholars offer our global society, their families and their workplaces. He noted that with cumulative giving approaching $35 million, the Cunniffes are setting the pace for philanthropy at Fordham.

Rising freshman Gianna Antinori is the recipient of the second annual NSLC alumni college scholarship. The merit-based scholarship provides $10,000 per year in tuition, renewable for all four years of Antinori’s undergraduate education at Fordham.

Antinori, a graduate of Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees, NJ, attended the NSLC’s medicine and healthcare program in Washington, D.C.

“These are merit-based scholarships, with applications evaluated on academic excellence, demonstrated leadership in extracurricular activities, and submitted essays and recommendation letters,” said Nate Silver, director of operations for the NSLC’s Yale and Fordham programs.

“We will be awarding one scholarship for each university each year, so by the time the class of 2022 enters Fordham, there will be four NSLC scholars on campus,” he said. “Our hope is that this scholarship generates interest in our host universities among our alumni and acts as an additional incentive for [them]to apply to Fordham.”

Rising sophomore Cameron DiGate was the recipient of the inaugural NSLC alumni scholarship in 2015. DiGate also attended the medicine and healthcare program, with the intention of becoming a veterinarian.

“We are very proud of this initiative, and we are very pleased to help some of our most outstanding students with their tuition payments at our partner universities,” Silver said.

Sponsored by the nonprofit National Student Leadership Foundation, the NSLC is a summer program that provides high-achieving high school students with an opportunity to live on a college campus and learn about careers that interest them. The conference has 16 programs on eight college campuses, offering instruction in business, government and law, STEM careers, leadership, and performing and media arts.

“It prepares students who are thinking about college,” said Richard Waite, director of Fordham’s conference services. “It’s a way of getting them to know what it’s like to live on campus or to go to school in New York City. And it’s a great way to get exposure for Fordham.”

During the two-week session, students participate in high-level classes, make site visits to organizations in their fields of choice, and meet with prominent leaders in the field.

“Students have the opportunity to go into Manhattan for site visits and meetings,” Waite said. “For instance, one year, students who were interested in culinary careers were invited to various restaurants in the city, including Per Se at the Time Warner Center.”

This summer marked the ninth year that Fordham partnered with NSLC to host the students on its Rose Hill campus.

In fact, Uwadione’s sons, ages 1 and 9, have provided the most important motivation during his years at Fordham’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies, where he earned a degree in organizational leadership with a minor in economics.

“I know the importance of my degree not just for myself but also for my children,” he said. “I want to live a life of exemplary conduct. I want to be able to say, ‘Well, I could do this and you should be able to do it.’”

Originally from Nigeria, Uwadione has been living in New York for 12 years. He was drawn to study at Fordham not just by its academic reputation, he said, but also because of its Jesuit traditions.

“Fordham is unique in that there are elements of faith that are part of the academic community, and that is something that you don’t find everywhere,” he said.

For Uwadione, who is of the Bahá’í faith, the sharing of spiritual life is of central importance. Each month, he hosts up to 25 people in his home for a “tranquility zone,” an evening of meditation and conviviality.

“It is a devotional gathering, a place where people of different faiths, or of no faith, will come together once a month and we eat, we pray, and we play,” he said.

This concern for the creation of peaceful communities led Uwadione to a course in philosophical ethics taught by Gerard Farley, PhD, adjunct professor in the Department of Philosophy.

The course resonated deeply for Uwadione because it examined the role of ethics in daily life, a topic of particular concern for him, he said, “coming from a country where corruption has pretty much plagued the system.”

Uwadione works in supply chain management and is the director of operations at a small logistics company. He plans to use his degree to advance in his career, but just as important, he wants to continue the community service that plays a large role in his life.

He serves as president of the regional Ndokwa Association in America, a not-for-profit cultural organization dedicated to improving education and living conditions in a region in Nigeria. Uwadione also serves as the chairman of the association’s national scholarship board, which funds African students who excel academically but who cannot pay for their schooling.

In his own education, Uwadione’s steadfast pursuit of excellence has paid off. In 2015, he was inducted into Alpha Sigma Lambda, the national honor society for adult students, and in the 2015-2016 academic year he was the recipient of the Morton Levy Scholarship.

Though he leaves Fordham this spring, Uwadione says his ties to the school University will always be strong.

“Fordham is now family. Once you are a member of the family of academics you are there forever.”

Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek is donating $1 million to endow a scholarship for undergraduates at Fordham. The Alex Trebek Endowed Scholarship will provide financial aid support to current, full-time and/or part-time students who live in North Harlem—the section of Manhattan north of Central Park.

“We are deeply grateful for Mr. Trebek’s generous gift, not least because it means we can offer a Fordham education to students who might otherwise not afford one,” said Joseph M. McShane, SJ, president of the University. “It is a welcome gift, but not a surprising one. Mr. Trebek has a long—if not well-known—history of giving where the need is greatest, and this scholarship is characteristic of his desire to do the most good for the most people.”

In addition to hosting Jeopardy!, Trebek supports a number of charities and educational organizations, including the National Geographic Society, the USO, World Vision and WonderWork.

The first Trebek Scholar is Estefania Cruz, a history major at Fordham College at Rose Hill, Class of 2017. Cruz commutes to Fordham from her family’s home in Harlem, where she tutors low-income students. She speaks Spanish and French, in addition to English, and hopes to add another language soon. Cruz is already planning on graduate school for a degree in clinical social work. “I hope to help people, especially the most vulnerable, overcome serious social problems, so they can lead productive and fulfilling lives. I plan to help my community in any way I can,” she said.

Trebek and his wife, Jean Trebek, have two children: Emily, Loyola Marymount University Class of 2015, and Matthew, who graduated from Fordham College at Rose Hill with a degree in philosophy in 2013, and is opening a Mexican restaurant, Oso, in North Harlem this year.

“I have seen the benefits of a Fordham education close up,” Trebek said. “My son’s career at the University not only sharpened his intellect, but helped him develop as a leader and a well-rounded person. My hope for this scholarship is that it helps many other deserving students have that same transformational experience.”

Trebek received an honorary degree from Fordham in 2011, and entertained students and faculty in “An Evening of Answers and Questions with Alex Trebek” at Rose Hill in September of the same year.

Trebek is a native of Sudbury, Ontario. He graduated from the University of Ottawa before going to work for the Canadian Broadcasting Company, and began his U.S. broadcasting career in 1973. He has hosted Jeopardy! for 32 years, winning five Daytime Emmy awards for Outstanding Game Show Host and a Peabody Award.

Two years ago, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Television Academy. Trebek has a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the prestigious Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto, making him one of only a handful of people honored by both the United States and Canada.

The array of awards reflects the diversity of Fordham’s roughly 14,700 students and the diligent work and dedication of the St. Edmund Campion Institute for Prestigious Fellowships. Among the winners are a Bourse Chateaubriand Fellow, two Gates Cambridge Scholars and, in a first for the University, one Morris K. Udall Scholar and one Henry Luce Scholar.
