The Endowment for Veterans Scholarship and Stipends
The Office of Military Veteran Student Services helps veterans make the successful transition from military service to college life and beyond. While many student veterans receive full tuition support through the Post-9/11 GI Bill, some students have exhausted their benefits or may not meet the requirement of three years of service. Students often make difficult decisions about their academic futures, but through the support from the Veterans Scholarship/Stipend Endowment, Loyola is lowering barriers for these students. Your gift will fund scholarships and residential support to student veterans and will be matched up to $1 million.
