“I’m over the moon to be a part of the Creighton community, where I’m pursuing a meaningful career in oral healthcare. The professors are top-notch, and my mentor has been like a big brother. I’ll never forget my first patient—being trusted with their care challenged me, sharpened my focus, and confirmed I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. My scholarship, and the people behind it, make experiences like this possible. It reflects the generosity of this close-knit community, and I’m proud to be a scholarship recipient.”

“I chose Creighton for high academics and basketball. My competitive drive and internal motivation were shaped early and strengthened in the classroom and on the court. I’m so grateful for the many people who invested in me—scholarship donors, professors cheering from courtside, mentors, and peers. Creighton opened doors I never expected, including the opportunity to take my game overseas and to work toward my CPA abroad! I value what I’ve gained and carry the Bluejay spirit with me in everything I do.”
