  • Loyola University Chicago Students: Check with Loyola’s Office of Student Financial Assistance.

  • Non-Loyola University Chicago Students: Check with the Study Abroad Office at your home university regarding financial aid opportunities. Federal regulations allow a student to receive financial assistance only from the school from which he/she will receive a degree. Non-Loyola University Chicago students who attend The Beijing Center cannot receive federal, state or institutional grant or loan assistance from Loyola.

  • If the student’s “home” school agrees to process aid on the student’s behalf, the student must arrange for a consortium agreement between the student’s school and Loyola University Chicago. This agreement allows the home school to award financial assistance, even though the student is enrolled at Loyola for the semester/year of their attendance at The Beijing Center. Inquiries regarding consortium agreements should be directed to lufinaid@luc.edu.

  • Please note: Some schools do not allow participation in consortium agreements; your home school will determine your eligibility for a consortium agreement.
