Occupational Therapy Scholarships
Scholarships are the most pressing fundraising priority in the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions (SPAHP).
When you support scholarships, you help us attract and retain excellent students in a very competitive time for recruitment. You directly improve the lives of Creighton students who exemplify the Jesuit values of our mission, helping them join the next generation of leaders in healthcare.
Most Creighton students rely on financial aid. Scholarships allow them to thrive in their professions. They give them a transformative sense of belonging, purpose and personal growth.
“Your support has allowed me to pursue my dream career of becoming an occupational therapist. I hope that with this degree, I will be able to work in a rural setting with an older adult population. You have given me an opportunity to chase those dreams and be able to impact the community of people needing occupational therapy services. It has shown me that people believe in me as a future practitioner and believe in my profession. Thank you so much!"
— Elizabeth Christensen, Class of 2025
