Stratford, CT — Today, Thursday, February 19th, 2026, The Fox Family, in partnership with the
Office of Mayor David Chess, announced the establishment of the Fox Family Scholarship, a
fully funded scholarship endowment designed to provide long-term, direct support to Stratford
students accepted to the University of Connecticut. The scholarship was created to establish a
financial pathway for students who demonstrate financial need, academic merit, community
engagement, and exhibit a commitment to a practical career track.
Each year, one Stratford student will be selected to receive the Fox Family Scholarship. The
award is structured as a four-year scholarship, providing sustained support throughout the
recipient’s undergraduate education at UConn, contingent upon continued academic progress and
good standing.
“Stratford has always been home for our family,” said Keith Fox, along with his brothers Curt
Fox and Craig Fox. “Sports taught us discipline, teamwork, and accountability — lessons that
carried into our careers. This scholarship reflects those values and our belief in supporting
students who are willing to work hard, contribute to their community, and prepare themselves for
meaningful careers.”
