THE ANNUAL LOYOLA SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION IS NOW AVAILABLE
As a University community, we continually look for ways to help you meet the cost of a Saint Joseph's education. To that end, it is with great pleasure that I announce the continuation of the Loyola Annual Scholarship as an additional component of the merit aid program for current students.
The Loyola Annual Scholarships will be determined via a competitive application process and granted to a total of 40 rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors each year. A total of $160,000 will be awarded annually in non-renewable amounts of $4,000 per scholarship.
The Loyola Annual Scholarships - named for Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus - seek to recognize students who, in addition to being among our best academically and demonstrating a high level of dedication to the University's mission, also have unmet financial need. Other criteria for the scholarship will include a record of institutional engagement as related to the University mission.
To apply for the scholarship you must submit the following items by May 1, 2013
- An application that is available at: Loyola Scholarship Webpage
- A 300 word essay discussing an activity or activities related to the University's mission.
In addition, students must have a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with Hawk Central by May 1, 2013. The FAFSA is available online at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
Upon submission of the application, your current SJU transcript will be provided to supplement your application by the Student Records Office. Scholarship notifications will be sent on June 10, 2013.
