Sponsor a Scholarship
Sponsor a Scholarship
Make a unique difference in the life of a child by sponsoring a scholarship
Research shows that the most important time to invest in a child’s education is during early childhood—and yet many children from low-income families don’t have access to quality early learning programs.
Our sponsors’ investments over the course of a child’s three years in preschool or five years in elementary school make our model possible and forever change the lives of our students. They graduate on track for success in middle school and life.
Be a part of a child’s TLS journey
Sponsoring a scholarship is a deeply rewarding experience for the sponsor. Over the course of a student’s three years in preschool or five years in elementary school (by 2025), sponsors receive artwork, photographs and thank you cards that highlight our little learners’ many leaps and bounds.
Sponsors are regularly invited to visit the school to meet their students and attend special events. Many sponsors enjoy the experience so much that they choose to renew their commitment to a new student after their original child graduates.
Choose a scholarship level that suits your budget
Scholarships can be funded by individuals, families, businesses, community groups or foundations. Sponsors can fund an Ignatian Year-Round Scholarship individually at $17,500 per year, which covers our academic year and our summer program for a single child.
Or, you can choose from one of the scholarship levels outlined below—either individually or with your friends and family.
You can invest in Baltimore’s underserved children during the stage that matters most—early childhood!
Research shows that the most important time to invest in a child’s education is during early childhood—from birth to age eight. Yet many children from Baltimore’s underserved families still don’t have access to quality early learning programs.
By partnering with parents and scholarship sponsors to focus on this critical window of child development, The Loyola School sets a solid academic and personal foundation that can truly change the trajectory of a young child’s life.
Your scholarship gift to The Loyola School is an investment in a child at the stage of their life that matters most—early childhood. It’s your chance to have an indelible impact not just on a child’s future, but on Baltimore’s future.

- Visit the school and meet students in your class

Choose a scholarship level that suits your budget
You can fund a scholarship as an individual or you can partner with friends, family members, colleagues, alumni or others to fund a scholarship at one of the below scholarship levels.
$17,500 per year
Fund a year-round scholarship (including summer) over three years (for preschool), five years (for elementary), or eight years (for both).
$8,750 per year
Fund half of a year-round scholarship, and we will pair you with another Shared sponsor.
$6,000 per year
Fund a third of a year-round scholarship, and we will match you with two other Trinity sponsors.
If you and your family members, friends, alumni, or colleagues would like to join together to fund a scholarship, the Circle of Scholars is for you! In this model, a group of three or more individuals jointly commit to support a scholarship at any scholarship level. Simply appoint a Team Lead who TLS will work with to coordinate the group of scholarship donors.
$15,000 per year
Support a child with an academic-year scholarship (September through June) as a single sponsor.
$7,500 per year
Support a child with an academic scholarship (September through June), shared* by two sponsors.
$5,000 per year
Support a child with an academic scholarship (September through June), shared* by three sponsors.
$15,000 per year per child, shared by three or more partners
A group of three or more individuals or family members jointly commit to support an Ignatian Academic scholarship at $15,000 for a single child. TLS will work closely with a “Team Lead” who coordinates the group of scholarship donors. Unlike our Shared and Trinity scholarship levels where TLS will match your partial scholarship with other sponsors, the Team Lead in a Circle of Scholars takes responsibility for securing the full $15,000 in commitments from friends, family or colleagues.
$25,000 per class per year
While student scholarships fund the basic costs of our students’ education, they do not cover all our school’s operational needs. Your class sponsorship ensures that an entire classroom of children has access to high level academic support, enrichment activities, experiential learning opportunities and family resources.
$2,500 per summer
Make a summer scholarship gift to our summer program to ensure our students don’t experience an academic regression during the summer months.
General Scholarship Fund
If you aren’t ready to make a scholarship commitment today, consider making a gift to the General Scholarship Fund.
While most of our children are funded by individual donors, several depend on our General Scholarship Fund. Your gift makes a Loyola School education possible and accessible to even more children.
