An Investment in the Future

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

 

I want to share some extraordinary news with you. Loyola University Chicago has received a $100 million gift from John (BBA ’68) and Kathy Schreiber—the largest gift in University history.

 

This gift will fund full scholarships, room and board, and an array of comprehensive support services for aspiring Black, Latino, first generation, and other ethnically and racially diverse students who are historically underrepresented in higher education. Together, the University and the Schreibers aspire to create a new, $500 million restricted portion of the University’s endowment that would make these resources permanent–with the goal of supporting hundreds of students each year when fully funded.

 

John and Kathy Schreiber’s gift is a reaffirmation of and support for the ways in which Loyola lives its Jesuit, Catholic mission—preparing people to lead extraordinary lives while working to expand knowledge in the service to humanity through learning, justice, and faith.

 

We are deeply grateful to John and Kathy Schreiber for this transformational investment in the future of promising students. This leadership gift creates opportunity, renews hope, and begins to holistically address and remove systemic barriers to student success and opportunity while inspiring others to take action.
