Financial Aid-Fellowships
The Graduate School awards a variety of merit-based awards.
- University Assistantships, which provide a stipend and tuition scholarship, are available from the Graduate School on a competitive basis to new and continuing full-time students. Assistantships normally include an annual stipend and full tuition for course work in fulfillment of program requirements, up to a maximum of 21 semester hours per academic year, including summer sessions. In the Department of Theology students in good standing can normally renew these assistantships for up to five years. Students awarded assistantships are assigned as research assistants for the first two years and perform research tasks for supervising professors for approximately fifteen hours per week; after that they are assigned as teaching assistants or teachers of record.
- Fifth year Ph.D. students may apply to the Pre-Doctoral Teaching Fellowship program of Loyola University. Additional fellowships are also available to qualified students upon recommendation by the Department. An especially promising applicant for the Ph.D. may be recommended for a Crown Fellowship, which provides an annual stipend and full tuition for four years. No duties are attached to the Crown Fellowships beyond the continuation of good academic work.
- The Graduate School also awards Dissertation Fellowships, which support students working on their Ph.D. dissertations. Among these are fellowships available to Ph.D. candidates to live as Fellows at the Rome Center.

Other Resources
Latin American Student Organization (LASO) is a supportive organization which encourages its members to learn about the diversity of the Latino culture, while promoting leadership development within us all. As the influence and impact of Latin American people and culture has increased in the United States and abroad, it has built networks of support in cooperation with other organizations, associations, the University administration and our friends. LASO is determined to seek strength in union as Latino students face a critical juncture in higher education -- which includes decreasing enrollment nation wide and lack of support and resources. It is committed to the use of our skills, knowledge and energy in order to contribute to the welfare of our people, society and the world.
