To be considered for any of Loyola's academic scholarships, you need to submit a completed application for admission including the scholarship essay on the final page. Continuing students with a cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.70 and who have completed at least two full-time terms may request consideration for an academic scholarship by submitting a copy of their Spring Semester grade report to the Office of Student Financial Assistance.
