Tuition Exchange

Tuition Exchange for Incoming Students
Scholarships in the Tuition Exchange Program are made on a competitive basis. In order to be eligible for a scholarship, the student's parent institution must submit the necessary certification to the Registrar's Office at Creighton University in the fall semester prior to the student's attendance. The Application for admission should be completed as soon as possible. Starting on January 15, all completed admissions will be reviewed and students will be selected on the basis of their academic record and extra curricular activities.
By February 1 students will be informed if they have been selected for the full-tuition scholarship award. These students will have until March 15 to accept the award.
If after March 15 Creighton has not filled all the allocated awards, the remaining applicants will be considered again and notified by April 15.
Creighton expects to award annually 5 full-tuition scholarships in the Tuition Exchange Program.
General information as well as a listing of participating colleges and Universities is available on the Tuition Exchange web site: www.tuitionexchange.org
