A more inclusive campus
Creighton is committed to diversity. It's part of our mission. It's who we are.
And one of the keys to a more inclusive campus — to greater diversity across all schools and colleges — is the gift of scholarships.
Scholarships create opportunity. They ensure that all our excellent students can experience a Jesuit education. They give our students a profound sense of belonging, purpose and personal growth.
You can support campus diversity by making a gift to scholarships for Creighton students from underrepresented groups and first-generation students. Learn more about Creighton’s commitment to diversity and inclusion here.

— Sarah Walker, PhD, Interim Vice Provost for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion

A legacy of anti-racism
As the University continues its work to become an anti-racist institution, we remember the life of The Rev. John P. Markoe, SJ, a former Creighton mathematics professor, steadfast civil rights advocate and namesake of the Markoe Scholarship.
A tireless advocate for justice, Fr. Markoe railed against the structural racism that pervades American life. His actions and legacy inspire us to continue this fight today.
