The Alumni Centennial Scholarship

Established by the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions (SPAHP) Alumni Advisory Board to commemorate the school’s 100-year anniversary, the Alumni Centennial Scholarship is the school’s signature endowed scholarship fund.

It honors and unites generations of pharmacy, physical therapy and occupational therapy health care professionals. The scholarship is open to all SPAHP students, and at least one student from each of these programs receives the award annually.

“Creighton has taught me to care for the whole person. My internships and service activities have taught me compassion and developed my professional skills. I will continue to work hard and to help my community. I am humbled and honored to have received this scholarship.”

— Molly Begley, PharmD'23

The importance of scholarships

Scholarships are our most pressing fundraising priority in SPAHP. In an increasingly competitive environment for recruitment, they're one of the most effective ways to attract and retain the excellent students for which our program is known.

The Alumni Centennial Scholarship Endowment Fund is critical to increasing Creighton SPAHP student support. It also represents a powerful message to current students — that our alumni believe in them.

When you make a gift to the fund, you're collectively supporting our students with merit- and need-based scholarships well into the future.
