Heritage Award

Catholic Heritage Award: This award (awarded for four years of consecutive, full-time enrollment) is made to new freshmen graduating from a Catholic high school within the Archdiocese of Chicago or the Diocese of Joliet. This award is restricted to tuition. Students graduating from a Jesuit high school in Chicago will be awarded the Jesuit Heritage Award instead.

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.
