Jennifer L. Fialko Scholarship Fund

Before age 30, Jennifer Louise Fialko learned to speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese, lived in Spain, graduated from the University of New Hampshire and overcame Hodgkin’s Disease. On Aug. 6, 2001, the 29-year-old started a new job in the World Trade Center’s South Tower with AON Insurance Corporation. She was at work on the 92nd floor on the morning of 9/11.

In addition to her travels and physical resilience, Jennifer was remembered by family and friends for her outstanding athleticism. She was an avid water skier and served as varsity co-captain of her high school softball and field hockey teams. Her softball coach remembered Jennifer as “an inspiration to her teammates. She was an upbeat and laughing first baseman who respected her teammates, her coaches and herself.”

The Jennifer L. Fialko Memorial Scholarship has honored her legacy each year since the 9/11 attacks by awarding financial support to athletes that embody her values and who inspire others around them.

We gratefully accept all donations, no matter the size. Money raised here will go directly to the Jennifer L. Fialko Memorial Scholarship Fund, administered by River Dell High School in Oradell, NJ.
