Dear Alumni, Past Parents and Friends of <strong>Prep</strong>,<br />
Every year I receive a few telephone calls<br />
or email messages from members of our<br />
<strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> community who tell me about<br />
talented boys who need to attend <strong>Prep</strong>.<br />
They see talent and promise in these boys<br />
and they know that <strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> will make<br />
the difference in their lives. They know that<br />
<strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> will form these boys into Men<br />
for Others.<br />
There’s only one problem: the boys will need<br />
financial aid in order to attend.<br />

$800<br />
ENDOWMENT<br />
$7,430 TUITION<br />
45% (OVER 460) STUDENTS<br />
RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID<br />
Our solution at <strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> is to provide<br />
financial aid to talented and qualified young men.<br />
This year <strong>Prep</strong> will provide over $1.5 million in support to over 45% of<br />
its students. I could not offer this help to our talented students and their<br />
families without your help.<br />
From its foundation in 1878, <strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> welcomed talented young<br />
men from different ethnic neighborhoods in Omaha. Today students come<br />
from every zip code and from the four corners of our region to form an<br />
economically and racially diverse community.<br />
These students will be successful in life because of the <strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong><br />
investment in their present education. These young men will grow into men of<br />
faith, scholarship, leadership and service in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition.<br />
You make <strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> possible. You make the lifetime difference for a<br />
young man through your generous support of the Annual Fund.<br />
Thank you for your generosity.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Fr. Tom Merkel, S. J.<br />
