Jesuit High School Recognition Awards

The Jesuit High School Recognition Awards are scholarships offered by Creighton University, specifically aimed at recognizing the academic achievements of students graduating from Jesuit high schools. The awards are designed for incoming freshmen, celebrating the commitment of Jesuit educational institutions to fostering excellence in their students. As a prestigious scholarship, it underscores the university's dedication to supporting students who have been shaped by Jesuit values, such as service, justice, and a strong sense of community.

Purpose and Support

The primary purpose of the Jesuit High School Recognition Awards is to encourage students from Jesuit backgrounds to continue their educational journey at Creighton University. These awards help alleviate the financial burden of college tuition, enabling recipients to focus on their studies and engage fully in campus life. By attracting students who have demonstrated academic prowess and leadership in their Jesuit high schools, the scholarship enriches the university community with diverse talents and perspectives.

Suitability and Study Abroad Integration

The scholarship is particularly well-suited for students who not only excel academically but who also embody the Jesuit ethos of being men and women for others. This aligns seamlessly with study-abroad plans that many Creighton students pursue, as it equips them with the resources needed to participate in global learning opportunities. The scholarship thus not only bolsters the educational experiences of its recipients but also prepares them for meaningful contributions in an increasingly interconnected world.
