Creighton Scholars Program
About the Program
The Creighton Scholars Program is for academically exceptional applicants who have researched their law school options and are strongly considering attending Creighton University School of Law. This program provides applicants prompt review of their application for our most comprehensive scholarship, and there is no obligation at the time of application. Applicants are free to apply to other schools during the process of consideration. If invited and an applicant accepts the offer to be in the Creighton Scholars Program, the program becomes binding and the applicant must immediately withdraw all other applications to other schools (and agrees not to not initiate any new applications). Once invited to become a Scholar, a candidate has ten business days to decide if they want to be in the program. (Acceptance is acknowledged by signing the binding contract and getting it back to the admissions office within the ten business days.)
Applicants interested in the Creighton Scholars Program should have a superior academic record (both LSAT and GPA) and demonstrated leadership potential and/or significant volunteer and extracurricular experiences.
Benefits of the Program
- Full-tuition and fees scholarship for all three years, provided the student remains in good standing
- Invitations to special events
- Opportunity to meet with featured speakers
- Opportunity to be a mentee of one of our notable alumni
