Peter Claver was a 17th century Spanish Jesuit Priest, who dedicated his life to the abolition of slavery and the fight for human rights, spending decades ministering to the sick and dying on the slave ships that arrived in Cartagena.
The Peter Claver Grant provides short-term financial assistance to help students overcome urgent, unexpected expenses that could otherwise disrupt their enrollment or academic progress. Rooted in Catholic social teaching and a commitment to supporting student success, the grant supports needs such as textbooks, required course materials, transportation, emergency travel, or other essential costs directly tied to participation in academic life. It is designed as gap funding to quickly remove immediate barriers, with priority given to students facing significant hardship or at risk of withdrawing, and is awarded based on demonstrated need and available resources.
To apply or to find out more, contact Lindy Brasher, University Minister for Social Justice, at lmbrashe@loyno.edu
