Scholarships
Driving affordability and accessibility
The expense of higher education can be daunting, especially so for adult learners who often carry the entire weight of the investment.
To heighten access and affordability, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) at Loyola University Chicago offers an array of internal scholarships to support our adult learners. In addition, we highlight applicable external scholarship opportunities for our students to further eliminate barriers to access, drive affordability, and empower student success.
