Loyola Foundation Inc. Entrance Scholarship

These scholarships were created through several endowment funds which originated from donors wishing to support Loyola College. Their donations became part of the Loyola Foundation shortly after its creation in 1973 to be used for objectives, activities and purposes that would foster and maintain the tradition and spirit of Loyola College. At its closure in 2003, the Loyola Foundation Inc. created a permanent endowment at Concordia University which will fund the Loyola Foundation Inc. Entrance Scholarship program, honour the generosity of its donors, carry on the tradition and spirit of Loyola College, and recognise the academic excellence and good character of Loyola High School graduates in perpetuity.

The endowment for the Loyola Foundation Inc. Entrance Scholarship Program is the amalgamation of the following awards:

The Dr. William Atherton History Prize Fund The Avon Products of Canada Fund The Lilley F. Barry Fund The Gordon Bennett Memorial Fund The Charles J. Brown Memorial Fund The Ursula Carling Fund The Francis J. Dowling Fund The Susan Langley Fund The Loyola Alumni Association Fund The Loyola Evening Students'Fund The Kenneth J. McArdle Memorial Fund The Professors McGuigan and McPhee Fund The Clive Moore Memorial Fund The Mrs. John Moriarty Fund The O'Hearn and O'Connor History Prize Fund The Clarence G.
