Scholarships
In your admissions application to Loyola, you might have also requested financial
aid; Loyola will have notified you about whether you will be receiving that aid. Direct
your questions about that financial aid to the Office of Financial Aid.
On this page we list opportunities we are aware of either specifically for computer
science students, or that have been emailed to our faculty to share with our students.
It is up to you to determine if a scholarship is a good fit, double check the deadline,
and apply. Your advisor can help you with questions about application materials, such
as how to write a personal statement or essay.
