When CME Group Foundation announced its inaugural class of scholars, the largest number came from Loyola University Chicago.

Of the 25 high-performing students selected by the foundation, nine — or nearly 40% — are Loyola students. The Loyola students range from sophomores to seniors and are majoring in finance, computer science, and information systems.

Each were selected because of their achievements and the impact the scholarship would have on their education.

“CME Group Foundation is dedicated to investing in students because they are crucial to our success and future economic well-being as a state, as a nation, and as a community,” says Kassie Davis, executive director of CME Group Foundation. “We have a long history of support for Loyola University Chicago and hope that by offering scholarships to Loyola students majoring in finance and computer science, they’ll be prepared for great careers in our industry.”

The nine CME Group Foundation Scholars from Loyola are:

  • Jada Aduda (Finance)
