How do I apply for a scholarship awarded by an entity other than Loyola University Chicago?
Scholarships or grants may also be available from some state governments, community agencies, private foundations, corporations, religious organizations, and civic and cultural groups. Such sources include many minority organizations, as well as state and local bar associations and the American Bar Association. When programs like these come to our attention, we publicize them to eligible students. However, we do not always learn about such programs in a timely manner (if at all), so students are encouraged to research such possibilities on their own. Research might begin in the reference section of most libraries (request books on graduate scholarships or fellowships) or on the Internet through online search engines. Searching the Internet may identify scholarship search services such as The SmartStudent Guide to Financial Aid (www.finaid.org). To make sure a Web search service is reputable, call the National Fraud Information Center (800.876.7060).
