Evoke Scholars Program

Lilly Sr. and sons J.K. Lilly Jr. and Eli -- through gifts of stock in their pharmaceutical business, Eli Lilly and Company.  The Evoke Scholarship Program will recognize five Loyola University Chicago students with a one year scholarship of $2,500 each.  Eligible candidates must be students who are actively exploring a career in ministry.  Open to all faith traditions.  This scholarship is renewable on a competitive basis.  Qualified students must complete an application form and consent to a personal interview with members of the Evoke staff.

The number and amount of awards vary by department, as do eligibility criteria. Contact your academic department for more information about scholarship options.
