In 2010, Fajardo enrolled at De La Salle University for her collegiate studies.

She was the Best Setter in the UAAP in Season 76, Season 78, and Season 79 respectively. She is also named the Most Valuable Player of the beach volleyball tournament in the UAAP Season 78. [5] Although Fajardo has graduated from De La Salle University on June 18, 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts degree (major in Sports Management), she decided to play her final year of eligibility in the 79th season of the UAAP as the team captain for the second straight season. She was eventually named the Best Setter and the Best Server and also carried the young team to their second straight championship.
Fajardo was named Best Server in the 2014 Philippine National Games [6] and Most Valuable Player in the 2015 edition. [7] She also won two times the Best Setter award in the PVF Intercollegiate Volleyball Championship in 2013 and 2015. [8] [9] In July 2016, Fajardo was given a golden ticket and was chosen as part of the Philippine Super Liga All-Stars to represent the country in the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship where she ended up as sixth in the Best Setter race.
