Grants
Educational Grants
A grant is a monetary gift that doesn’t need to be repaid and is often based on financial need. Creighton University uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for all grants. There are several types of grants available. Explore the various options below.
Types of Grants Available
Federal Pell Grant
This is a federally funded program. Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students without a bachelor's or professional degree. Eligibility is determined by a student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is calculated from the FAFSA, and enrollment status.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSOEGs are awarded to undergraduate students with a great need for financial assistance. These federally funded grants are reserved for students who are eligible for Federal Pell Grant funds.
Nebraska State Grant Program
This grant program is funded by the federal government and the state of Nebraska. It’s awarded to Nebraska residents eligible for Federal Pell Grant funds.
Creighton University Grant (CUG)
The CUG is an institutionally funded program that’s awarded to undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need.
