New $2.5 Million Gift Will Fund Loyola Nursing Degrees for Arrupe College Graduates

Rocco and Roxanne Martino are continuing their commitment to Loyola University Chicago through a major new philanthropic investment. Their $2.5 million gift will establish the Martino Scholars: graduates of Arrupe College (Loyola’s two-year degree program) who go on to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Loyola. The gift will fund financial aid and support services for these students.

By creating a pathway to a career in nursing for these students, many coming from diverse backgrounds, the Martinos’ gift has the power to expand and improve their futures, grow the regional pipeline of qualified nurses, and strengthen the Chicagoland communities where many are likely to live and work after completing their degrees.
