Development - Annual Fund Giving
Your Gift to Financial Aid
Like the first Jesuit schools nearly 500 years ago, which were open to rich and poor alike, Loyola Academy has always been committed to maintaining a socioeconomically diverse student population.Today, students attending Loyola Academy enjoy a rich, multicultural milieu that offers many opportunities to make friends with young people from different backgrounds and learn about different cultures and lifestvles. About half of our students reside in Chicago, and the rest travel to Loyola from 50 different suburbs. Nearly 20 percent of our students are minorities, and 25 percent come from families in which one parent was born outside of the United States. Much of this diversity is made possible by Loyola s tuition assistance programand the generous benefactors who have supported tuition assistance through their gifts to the Annual Fund.
Today, approximately 25 percent of Loyola s student population receives some level of tuition assistance. You can help us carry on this tradition. Your gift will be allocated directly to our tuition assistance program to help ensure that no student is denied access to a Loyola education for financial reasons. Because gifts to the Annual Fund are unrestricted, they can be put to use immediately. Your support will literally change the life of a deserving, Chicago-area student by making a high quality, Jesuit, college preparatory education attainable. It could be one of the most far-reaching investments you will ever make.
Our Financial Aid video highlights some of the many families that Annual Fund donations have helped.
