Financial need is not considered in awarding athletic grants. For more information contact the Athletic Department.

Need-Based Grant

Loyola Grant

The Loyola Need-Based grant is available to full-time students based on the results of the FAFSA and CSS Profile applications.

Loyola Endowed/Privately Funded Scholarships

The Office of Financial Aid administers a limited number of endowed and privately funded scholarships that are awarded to qualified members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes. Members of the senior class are given priority in the evaluation process. Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.000 to be considered for a scholarship and will be evaluated on their academic performance, co-curricular activities, awards and honors, and other criteria as specified by the donor of the endowed fund or the sponsor of the privately funded scholarship program.  Applicants are normally informed of the Scholarship Committee's decisions during the fall semester.

Students who wish to be considered for a privately-funded or endowed scholarship should complete the General Scholarship Application.  Applicants will need their Loyola University username and password to access the application form.  Information collected on the application will be used by the Scholarship Committee to match students' characteristics and credentials with scholarship selection criteria. By completing this application, students are certifying that the information provided on this form is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge and are also giving Loyola's Office of Financial Aid permission to share this information with private scholarship providers or endowed scholarship donors.

Note: The receipt of a privately funded or endowed scholarship may result in an adjustment in your current financial aid package. All scholarship awards must be considered an additional resource in meeting a student's demonstrated financial need.  Therefore, it may be necessary to adjust a student's eligibility for Federal Work Study, the Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Loyola Student Loan, or institutional grant assistance if awarded an endowed or privately funded scholarship.

Loyola Endowed Scholarship Funds

The following scholarship funds have been established and named in honor of friends and families of the Loyola community. Awards from these funds are made to students selected by the Office of Financial Aid according to criteria specified by the scholarship donor.

Federal Programs

Federal Grant Programs

Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant Program is the largest federal need-based student aid program, providing grant assistance to undergraduate students who are enrolled in a degree or certificate program and have not received their first bachelor's degree. Eligibility is based on demonstrated financial need, cost of education, and enrollment status. The amount of the student's award is determined using the Federal Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR), Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the Payment Schedule provided by the U.S. Department of Education.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

In awarding Federal Supplemental Grants, a Federal Campus-Based Program, priority is given to Pell Grant recipients with the highest demonstrated financial need. Loyola limits awards through this program to a maximum of $1,000 per year.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)

Eligibility for this Federal Campus-Based Program is determined via the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and offers full-time students valuable work experience and flexibility to work around their class schedule. 

Federal DVA Yellow Ribbon Program

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (GI Bill ®). Under this program, the act provides payment for tuition, fees, a books and supplies stipend, and a housing allowance for qualified veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001. Veterans who wish to be considered for this educational benefit must apply, qualify, and be approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Once approved, veterans may apply to transfer the benefit to qualified dependents.

Colleges and universities enter into matching agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) to pay veterans' tuition and fee costs above those covered by the GI Bill ® benefit. The maximum tuition and fees benefit available for the 2020-21 academic year is $25,162.14.

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Federal TEACH Grant

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program provides up to $4,000 per year in non-need-based grants for undergraduate students who must, in turn, teach full-time in high-need subject areas for at least four years at schools that serve students from low-income families. Students may receive up to $16,000 for undergraduate study. Part-time students are eligible, but the maximum grant will be reduced.

Current legislation has identified the following as meeting the definition of a high-need subject area for the TEACH Grant Program: Bilingual Education and English Language Acquisition; Foreign Language; Mathematics; Reading Specialist; Science; and Special Education. Failure to complete the teaching obligation will cause the TEACH Grant to be permanently converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan with interest accrued from the date the grant funds were first disbursed. Once a grant is converted to a loan, it cannot be converted back to a grant.

Federal Student Loan Programs

The U.S. Department of Education's federal student loan program is the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. Under this program, the U.S. Department of Education is your lender.

A complete list of programs and application requirements is available on the MHEC site,  https://mhec.maryland.gov/preparing/Pages/FinancialAid/index.aspx.

Army ROTC Scholarships

The U.S. Army is interested in selecting the best candidates for scholarships and ultimately commissioning as the future officer leadership of the U.S. Army. ROTC scholarships cover full tuition, fees, books and supplies. Recipients also receive a tax-free subsistence allowance each month that the recipient attends classes (up to 10 months each year): $300 freshman year, $350 sophomore year, $450 junior year and $500 senior year. Students who are awarded an ROTC Scholarship in their senior year of high school also receive additional grant assistance funded by Loyola University. This grant is renewed each year a cadet retains eligibility for the ROTC Scholarship.

In addition to the ROTC national scholarship competition (applied for during a student's senior year of high school), students may apply for a three- or four-year scholarship during their freshman year of college. Sophomores may apply for a two- or three-year scholarship and juniors may apply for a two-year scholarship. Students must be enrolled in a military science class in order to compete for a campus-based scholarship. Campus-based scholarships cover the same expenses as the national scholarships. However, students who are awarded the campus-based scholarship do not qualify for additional grant assistance funded by Loyola University.

The Army ROTC program provides an academically integrated curriculum intended to train college students as officers for the United States Army. Through military science, a student gains pertinent leadership and management skills while earning a college degree. ROTC cadets may pursue any course of study, except Theology.

For additional information, please call or write Loyola's department of military science at:

Title 38 Policy

Loyola University Maryland complies with section 3679 (e) of title 38, United States Code, regarding students using Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Chapter 31) or Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) education benefits. These students are referred to in Loyola University Maryland policy as covered students.

Covered students are permitted to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the student provides a Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), or VAF 28-1905, and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

The date on which payment from VA is made to the institution.

90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the Certificate of Eligibility.

Loyola University Maryland does not impose any penalty upon covered students because of the individual's inability to meet financial obligations to the institution due to delayed disbursement of funding from VA under Chapter 31 or 33. Specifically, there will be no assessment of late fees, denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds for covered students during the period detailed above.

United States Code Section 3679 (e) is located on the U.S. House of Representatives' Office of Law Revision Counsel United States Code website at: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:38%20section:3679%20edition:prelim)

Monthly Payment Plan

The convenience of paying educational expenses on a monthly basis is an attractive alternative to many families. if you need to use savings, current income, or loans, this option will make the payments easier. Loyola University Maryland has partnered with a commercial plan available through Nelnet/TMS, to offer an interest-free monthly payment service for a one-time annual enrollment fee. The service allows families to make payments on the balance owed over a 10-month period (Fall 2020, 5-month plan/Spring 2021, 5-month plan). Please be advised that the monthly plan is semester based. You must enroll for each semester in which you want to participate.


The only cost for the Nelnet/TMS Monthly Payment Plan is a $40 per semester enrollment fee. You will make 5 monthly payments due on the 1st of each month from July - November (Fall 2020 semester) and December - April (Spring 2021 semester)
