做厙輦⑹ hopes a new scholarship program will encourage alumni looking to continue their education to include 做厙輦⑹ on their list of potential universities. The program also aims to provide alumni benefits of real, measurable value, according to University Advancement and Enrollment Management leaders who partnered to launch the effort.
The new Lifelong Laker Scholarship is available to alumni who have completed a 做厙輦⑹ or Robert Morris University Illinois degree and are pursuing a masters degree at 做厙輦⑹. The program, to commence with the 202324 academic year, provides a 15% tuition discount to both part-time and full-time students in select programs.
做厙輦⑹ offers more than 45 masters degree programs across its four colleges: Chicago College of Performing Arts; College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences; College of Science, Health and Pharmacy; and Heller College of Business. Qualified undergraduate students currently have access to 19 accelerated masters degree programsallowing them to obtain both a bachelors and a masters degree from the University in an abbreviated period of time.
Nicole Barron, vice president of enrollment, marketing and advancement, says, "This scholarship program, in combination with other initiatives like our accelerated master's degrees, will help make a graduate education more accessible to our community." 做厙輦⑹ continues to prioritize efforts that remove barriers in higher education.

Barron continues, Our commitment to access must span the entire educational life cycle. For example, the addition of the Lifelong Laker Scholarship could make 做厙輦⑹ very appealing to prospective undergraduate students who already know they wish to obtain a graduate degree. It will also benefit former students looking to return to the classroom after time away. Director of Graduate Enrollment Sarah Hellstrom says, Our graduate programs offer opportunities for personal growth and professional networking. The addition of the academic credential is just another of the many benefits.
According to worldwide employment website Indeed, Many masters programs accept students with backgrounds that may differ from the degree major, which allows individuals to choose a new field to gain knowledge and skills. This makes a masters degree ideal for individuals interested in making a career change.
This is the first step in revitalizing our alumni benefits program. We look forward to announcing other new initiatives and programming this fall, says Jared Fritz-McCarty, assistant vice president of advancement. Expanded efforts will focus on career and leadership development, mentorship and affinity groups.
Prospective graduate students are invited to attend an open house on from 5:307:30 p.m. on 做厙輦⑹s downtown Chicago campus. Academic, financial aid, veteran and career development representatives will be available.
