Loyola Marymount
Decision sheet

California · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

Jesuit/Marymount Catholic university in Los Angeles that auto-considers every applicant for ten named scholarships but publishes no dollar amounts or stat cutoffs, leaving award size opaque until the offer arrives.

Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Awards to discuss

First 3 of 10 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Presidential Scholarship

Not publicly disclosed by LMU · Published award terms

Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.

GPA: Renewal: 3.0 cumulative

Eligibility: Awarded by the admissions committee; no separate scholarship application; all applicants for first-year admission are automatically considered

Renewal: Renewal is automatic up to 4 years/8 semesters with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA

Other terms: LMU does not publish a dollar amount or stat cutoff for the Presidential Scholarship. Families should treat the award size as unknown until the financial aid offer arrives.

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

Recorded stacking policy: Outside scholarships reduce loans and/or work-study first; institutional grants are only reduced if required to prevent an over-award.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
