As a member of the DLSU Lady Spikers, she has won one UAAP indoor volleyball (UAAP Season 75) and one UAAP beach volleyball (UAAP Season 78) championships, respectively.[4] She was named Best Setter in the 76 and UAAP Season 78 being also Most Valuable Player in the Season 78.[5] Although Fajardo has graduated from De La Salle University in June 18, 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts degree (major in Sports Management), she will play her final year of eligibility in the 79th season of the UAAP.
