New Haven, Conn., June 17, 2021 –   The golf season is in full swing! The Travelers Championship is gearing up and so is the  Albertus Magnus College Golf Classic.  This annual tournament – now in its third exciting year – raises funds for scholarships that transform and empower lives.  In its first two years of existence – including during a pandemic, the Albertus Golf Classic has raised more than $150,000 in support of essential scholarship money for students.  Why this funding is important is clear:  95-percent of the Class of 2024 has received financial aid in the form of loans, grants, and scholarships.

“This tournament solidifies our commitment to not only the success of our students but their ongoing contributions and leadership in the community.  In return, that community and business support to our students strengthens the cycle of success so that we can, together, build our future workforce and create engaged residents,” said Vice President of Advancement Mary Young ’91.

Founded in 1925, Albertus is a coeducational Catholic College in the Dominican tradition. Albertus' values- and liberal arts-based education is recognized by external rankings such as US News & World Report, Money, and The New York Times, and has been named a Top 10 Military Friendly School. For ten consecutive years, at least 95% of Albertus graduates have attained employment or gone on to graduate studies within six months of completing their degrees. The College has an enrollment of approximately 1,300 students across its traditional undergraduate, accelerated adult undergraduate, and graduate program levels. Proud to enroll a student body where nearly half of its undergraduate students receive Federal Pell Grants and are first-generation college goers, Albertus is known for its innovative curricular offerings, recently launching new Bachelor's degree programs in Nursing, including BSN and Connecticut's first LPN-to-BSN; General Health Sciences; Interdisciplinary Studies; and Public Health. 

Among its graduate offerings is the State of Connecticut's only Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling program, and it is just one of three schools to offer a Master of Science in Human Services. In 2025-26, Albertus is celebrating its historic 100th Anniversary and completing implementation of the Albertus 2025: Lighting the Way to a Second Century strategic plan, with a bold vision to "be a destination liberal arts-based college, distinguished in its interdisciplinary and experiential approach to education, rooted in Dominican values, that prepares students for lifelong civic engagement and success."
