Fundraising Priorities
Here are a few great ways you can support the College of Professional Studies. To learn more, contact mikeomalley@creighton.edu.
Scholarships
Scholarships not only lighten the load of tuition and fees; they give each student a transformative sense of purpose and meaning, sending them into their careers with a desire to help others as our donors helped them.
Faculty development
A tremendous education begins and ends with great faculty. When you make a gift to faculty development, you ensure that Creighton continues to attract and retain our talented professors and excel in teaching, learning and research.
The Creighton Fund
When you support the Creighton Fund, you allow Creighton to use your gift to meet our greatest and most immediate areas of need. It means we’ll use your gift in ways that most directly and effectively help our students right now.
Restricted gifts
A restricted gift is when you designate your gift to a specific program or area of the University. This is a great way to support a cause close to your heart, such as a scholarship for students from an underrepresented group.
It starts with your support
“The advantages of a Creighton education stay with our students forever; in whatever leadership roles they choose to fulfill and in who they become. And it starts here, with your support to provide our students the opportunities to earn their professional education at Creighton.”
— Gail Jensen, PT, PhD, FAPTA, Dean of the Graduate School and College of Professional Studies
A Transformative Education
Careers and family life tend to get hectic, but the College of Professional Studies strives to make this transformative education work for everyone, no matter their situation.
We offer courses for our busy adult learners looking to advance their careers or change direction. We work around schedules and meet the changing needs of our students.
Creighton understands the shifting landscape of higher education. We will respond with innovative solutions, calling upon our alumni and friends for guidance and support.

Supporting others
