Loyola Law School has a new scholarship for graduates of Loyola Marymount University, its parent university.
The William H. Hannon Foundation will fund a $1 million scholarship, the largest scholarship gift in the Law School’s history designated for students from a single alma mater.
To qualify for the scholarship, students must be graduates of LMU, have strong academic standing and financial need. Alumni of the undergraduate program at Loyola Marymount University have historically been well represented at the law school. The Law School counts nearly 1,000 LMU alumni in its graduate ranks, and 56 LMU alumni are currently enrolled as law students.
“These scholarships are critical in helping students obtain a law school education that might otherwise be out of their reach,” said Victor Gold, Fritz B. Burns Dean of Loyola Law School. “The William H. Hannon Foundation is equipping a new generation of students with the skills and knowledge they will be able to use to contribute back to society.”
