Foundation launches Loyola scholarship
Three members of Loyola Law School's seven-member board of directors visited the school's downtown Los Angeles campus Feb. 5 to commemorate a $1 million gift earmarked for scholarships to alumni of Loyola Marymount University. The donation is the largest ever designated for alumni of a single alma mater at Loyola Law, the school said. Dubbed the William H. Hannon Scholarship, the award will be presented to its first recipients in the 2014-15 academic year. Recipients must be LMU graduates with strong academic standing and demonstrated financial need. The William H. Hannon Foundation, which is funding the scholarship, was founded by 1937 Loyola Marymount alumnus William H. Hannon. To attend LMU, his mother struck a Depression-era deal with the university that allowed him to attend the school free of charge if he promised to repay the then-$800 tuition after he graduated. "During his lifetime," the school said in a news release, "Hannon, and now his foundation, have repaid his tuition many thousands of times over." — Ben Adlin
