Leadership Scholars Program

At Loyola University Chicago, we are committed to supporting students’ journeys by clearing obstacles and equipping students with the tools they need to excel while capitalizing on their strengths. The Leadership Scholars Program is a signature student success program funded by the historic $100 million gift from Schreiber Family in May 2022. It empowers the next generation of leaders by offering scholarships to select students, including first-generation college students and/or limited income students who represent the diversity of our Loyola community.
