It all starts with scholarships
When you support occupational therapy scholarships, you help us shape a new generation of professionals ready to serve their patients and transform the future of health care.
Scholarships help our students manage costs and alleviate debt load. But more than that, they give them a transformative sense of belonging, purpose and personal growth.

Health care for the whole person
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.
Offering more financial aid will mean more students can access our top-ranking education to become the passionate and skilled professionals the world needs.
With your support, we will continue to bring the best and brightest students to the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, offering them a truly transformative education committed to treating the whole person — mind, body and soul.

A pioneer in health care
We believe that right now, more than ever, the world needs Creighton-educated health care professionals.
As our more than 8,400 alumni in the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions know, we teach students to care for their patients compassionately, treating each one as a whole person and striving to make a difference in every life.
The School of Pharmacy and Health Professions is a pioneer in health care. We offered the first distance-based Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) pathway, the first entry-level clinical doctorate in physical therapy and one of the first post-baccalaureate Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) programs in the country.
How scholarships change our students' lives
Every day, we speak with students about how scholarships have made their Creighton experience possible, how they’ve changed their lives and the lives of their families.
