• The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fund: provides resources to ensure sustainable change for DEI initiatives at Fordham. One of the top priorities of this fund is to grant stipends to students so they can participate fully in University life, with a particular focus on first-generation and low-income students. This includes money to purchase books or other essential academic expenses, conference fees, travel costs, safety needs, medications, food, and more.
