You may have never heard of Creighton University (CU). A young man who plans to become a medical doctor was told by his college counselor to apply to some small, private colleges. One of the schools he has applied is CU. On Jan. 15, 2011, an acceptance letter from the CU has arrived, which offers the young man the CU Founders Award in the amount of $11,000.00 for the 2011-2012 academic year. The letter noted that this award is renewable for another three years.
