Creighton University

Creighton is a Jesuit university in Omaha, Nebraska, and it is unusually blunt about money. Its international admissions portal answers the question directly: it does not offer need-based financial aid to international students, full tuition and cost-of-attendance scholarships are not available, and it states that students should not apply unless they can cover the cost of attendance. Providing a bank statement with the application is treated as an acknowledgement that the family can meet those costs. Against that candour it offers a genuinely tiered entry structure — unconditional, Bridge and provisional English bands — so an applicant short of the top threshold has routes in. Merit scholarships are awarded automatically, and a separate set of supplemental scholarships keyed to nationality, intended major and first-generation status requires a second application on a January deadline. First-year and second-year students must live on campus.
