External scholarships are offered by organizations and foundations outside Loyola Chicago. Some of the best resources for scholarships are organizations with which you or your family is associated (e.g. parent's employer, ethnic heritage groups, Elks Club, O'Brien-Vrba, nonprofit volunteer organizations, community organizations, high schools, etc.​).

You can search for external scholarships through the Loyola Scholarship Connection (scroll to the bottom to see awards listed by deadline). This list is updated regularly so check back frequently! If you are a current Loyola student, you may login each spring to apply for additional Loyola scholarships for the following academic year. The application typically opens early March of each year, and the General Application is due by June 1 of each year.
