It all starts with scholarships
When you support scholarships, you help our dental students manage costs and make ends meet. But more than that, you give them a transformative sense of belonging, purpose and personal growth.
Tuition alone doesn’t fully cover what it costs to educate our students. In fact, it only covers about two-thirds of it. Most of our students receive financial aid or scholarships. Last year alone, Creighton awarded nearly 1,900 scholarships to students across all schools and colleges.
With your support of dental scholarships, you ensure that we continue to offer this transformative education to all deserving students. Your gift to this area has a tremendous ripple effect, not just for our students and school but the community at large.
Each year, the School of Dentistry serves more than 14,000 patients (more than 2,100 of them children). By caring for so many patients, our students are not only fulfilling Creighton’s mission of service and justice for others; they’re becoming some of the most practice-ready dentists in the nation.
You can make a difference today!
It’s because of donors like you that I could come to Creighton. Scholarship aid brought me here and has allowed me to stay. Your gift, no matter the amount, makes a huge impact.

Shape the future of Creighton dentists
“There's nothing else I'd want to do but be a dentist, and there's nowhere else I'd want to study but Creighton's dental school. It's just one of the best, most well-rounded dental programs in the country. And the school's Jesuit mission to give back to the community aligns with my own values. I want to help serve the underserved, and Creighton has given me many opportunities to do so.”
