Loyola University Chicago announced a $100 million gift from John and Kathy Schreiber to fund full scholarships, room and board, and comprehensive support services for Black, Latino, first-generation and other ethnically and racially diverse students who are historically underrepresented in higher education. The gift is the largest in Loyola’s history.
The gift is also the start of an effort by the university to create a $500 million endowment to support such aid.
