Make a Gift
Your gift to Creighton University, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact for the University and our students — supporting scholarships, programs, research, service trips, facilities, faculty endowment and, of course, our Jesuit, Catholic mission of forming women and men working for and with others.
Scholarships continue Creighton’s long legacy of offering access to all deserving students, no matter their circumstances. About 98% of our students receive scholarships or some form of financial aid, with Creighton awarding nearly 2,000 scholarships annually across all schools and colleges.
However you give to Creighton, your gifts are changing the lives of our students through a transformative education and experience. You are the key to their success and the University’s future.
