SCHOLARSHIPS
How we make a Loyola education possible irrespective of economic status
"We help carry out God’s mission, and part of it is enabling all worthy aspirants to benefit from our incredible resources, whatever their finances."
Vice-Principal of PG
Introduction
At Loyola, we believe that every human being who wants a great education is entitled to one. It is our stated philosophy that no one who is deserving will ever be refused admission due to their financial constraints. And so, over the years, with the help of many generous sponsors, including kid alumni, we have instituted several grants and aids.
In addition, Loyola also believes in rewarding extraordinary accomplishments in college (and outside), and so we have several scholarships for high performers.
In the year 2014 the management decided to award 307 scholarships to extraordinary performers. The total scholarship amount added up to Rs. 15.5 Lakhs.
Loyola's scholarships/grants, then, broadly fall under 4 categories:
-
01
National-level & State-level sports player
Current National-level & State-level sportspersons are eligible for scholarships
-
02
Academic performance at Loyola
Consistency of academic excellence in the college
-
03
Economic situation
Income per person in the family of the aspirant
-
04
Catholic background
Loyola supports adherents of the Catholic Christian faith financially, in addition to others.
Students need to apply for all means scholarships (merit scholarships are announced by the College at the logical times).
