Dreamer Scholarship

Loyola offers five scholarships for newly admitted transfer and freshman who have undocumented status. The Dreamer Scholarship covers tuition, on campus room and board, and mandatory student fees. These scholarships are highly selective and finalist will be required to attend an on-campus interview.

Scholarship application and deadline details are on the student’s application status page at (uao.luc.edu/status). If you have questions about these awards, please contact the Undergraduate Admission office at 800-262-2373.

Loyola also recognizes talented students through a variety of other scholarships that are awarded without consideration of financial need. Please review the following list of scholarship opportunities that will provide you, if eligible, with additional resources to help make your Loyola education more affordable. Review the descriptions below, and either call or e-mail for an application.

In order to be considered for any of Loyola University Chicago's academic scholarships, students must submit a completed Application for Undergraduate Admission (there is no separate scholarship application). Because freshmen should be admitted no later than February 1 for scholarship consideration, the completed application should be sent to the Undergraduate Admission Office by December 1. Transfer students must be admitted by June 1 for scholarship consideration.

Each application is carefully read and scholarships are competitively awarded based on outstanding academic achievement. Admission applications are reviewed for scholarship consideration on a first-come, first-served basis.

In some cases, if a student studies abroad through a program where Loyola aid can be applied, the Loyola aid may be reduced to reflect the same percentage coverage of tuition.
