Blackstone creates scholarship in honor of John Schreiber
The Blackstone gift honors the leadership of alumnus John Schreiber. Quinlan's Schreiber Center, which opened in 2015, was named in honor of John and Kathy Schreiber.
Leaders from Blackstone, one of the world鈥檚 leading investment firms, gave more than $1 million to the Quinlan School of Business at 黑料门University Chicago to create the Blackstone Scholars at the Quinlan School of Business.
The gift, which was announced in February 2016, honors 黑料门alumnus John Schreiber and his many years of leadership and service to Blackstone.
鈥淛ohn Schreiber co-founded our real estate business and has been instrumental in its success,鈥� says Jon Gray, global head of real estate and a member of Blackstone鈥檚 Board of Directors. 鈥淲e could think of no better way to honor John on the occasion of his retirement than establishing the Blackstone Scholars at the Quinlan School of Business.鈥�
Scholarships support the greatest need
The Blackstone Scholars at Quinlan, created with a $1,025,000 gift from John鈥檚 friends and colleagues at Blackstone, will establish an endowment at the Quinlan School of Business to support students with the greatest financial need. The scholarships will be awarded annually and will significantly reduce student loan burdens on the scholars.
鈥淭he Blackstone Scholars at Quinlan will be an important new program at the Quinlan School of Business and will continue the 黑料门legacy of making a world-class education affordable,鈥� says Kevin Stevens, Quinlan鈥檚 dean. 鈥淥n behalf of the Quinlan community, I would like to thank John Schreiber for his lifelong commitment to 黑料门and thank Blackstone and the Gray Foundation for their generosity.鈥�
The Quinlan School of Business is located in the new Schreiber Center, an innovative and sustainable 10-story facility located on Loyola鈥檚 Water Tower Campus. The Schreiber Center was named in honor of a $10 million gift to 黑料门University Chicago by John and Kathy Schreiber.
鈥淚t has been a wonderful opportunity to be a part of Blackstone,鈥� says John Schreiber. 鈥淚 am honored by the extraordinary support of my colleagues, and I am thrilled that the Blackstone name will become synonymous with promising young students at Loyola.鈥�
