Creighton University

Creighton University awards need-based and non-need based academic scholarships to students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences, College of Business, or the School of Nursing. The dollar amount of these scholarships may vary.

To receive priority consideration for scholarships, you should submit the Application for Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship and all required credentials to the Office of Admissions. The Office of Admissions determines the deadline. The Application for Admission serves as the general University scholarship application. The Admissions Office determines the recipients of these non-need based scholarships. Contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office for more details.

In order to be considered for need-based scholarships, a student must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There is no application needed in addition to the FAFSA.
