Merit Scholarships. Merit scholarships, on the other hand, are not dependent upon a familyâs financial need. Merit scholarships are most commonly awarded one of two ways: a studentâs connection with an affinity group or for a studentâs academic, athletic, or artistic ability. The most common type of merit scholarship is one that is given for a studentâs academic, athletic, or artistic ability. The scholarship amounts vary by school but can range from $500 to full tuition.
A mix of institutional merit-based awards and need-based aid makes Loyola an affordable option for families of all income levels. Scholarships for first-year and transfer students are based on outstanding academic records, competitive test scores, and significant community involvement. Talent-based scholarships are also available in music, theatre arts, and visual arts. Scholarships range from $2,000 to full tuition annually. Students are automatically considered for institutional merit-based scholarships when they apply for admission. These awards are based solely on academic merit as identified in the application process and do not require an interview.
