Endowed Chairs and Professorships
The power of personal giving assists in shaping the future of academic excellence for the university. A gift to establish an Endowed Chair or Endowed Professorship means the university can provide and retain the best teacher-scholars in the classroom. Student learning is the core purpose of Loyola University New Orleans and the force that drives the future for the university. The university works to promote academic excellence for its students by providing outstanding teaching and personal learning.

The professorships remain flexible and are intended to meet the needs of widely varying disciplines, campuses, and academic units.
Each year, a campus may fund two $100,000 professorships statewide, all with a 40:60 ratio of Support Fund money to private donations.
