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.
Endowed Student Fellowships
Graduate student fellowships — in Interdisciplinary Leadership (EdD), Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (MS), Master of Public Health (MPH) and more — build a solid program and attract the most talented students.
Merit- and Need-based Targeted Endowed Scholarships
These scholarships allow students from diverse backgrounds to gain a Jesuit, Catholic education at Creighton and use their experience to become agents of change for the greater good.
Endowed Chairs for Centers of Excellence
Funding allows us to provide resources and support for faculty who champion interdisciplinary collaboration. The “team effect” increases communication, thinking and learning, adding up to a uniquely excellent education for our students.
Dean’s Innovation Fund
This fund provides students and faculty with the space to explore new avenues for education and research. Past projects include modernized telehealth environments and adaptive learning experiences, where students applied what they learned to real-life situations.
Graduate Alumni Advisory Board Leadership Fellows Program
Our new nine-month graduate leadership program serves students interested in practicing their studies in the real world, offering them one-on-one mentorship from experts in a variety of fields, including education and public health.
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

Lifelong, life-changing education
“When I was looking for a master's program in business administration, I wasn't looking for just a piece-of-paper degree that got me the next promotion. I was looking for an education that changed my perspective. That's what I've found at Creighton.”
— Bailey Wood, Graduate School
