I'm considering majoring in pharmacy, and I’ve heard there are specific scholarships for pharmacy students. Does anyone know where I can find these scholarships or any particular ones I should apply for?
Indeed, there are several scholarships specifically geared towards pharmacy students. Below are a few examples:
1. APhA Foundation Student Scholarship: This scholarship is given by the American Pharmacists Association Foundation to students who are members of the association and have completed at least one academic year in a school of pharmacy.
2. CVS Health Minority Scholarship for Pharmacy Students: This scholarship offers financial assistance to underrepresented minority students who are admitted into a PharmD program.
3. Express Scripts Scholarship Program: This scholarship is for students in their last three years of pharmacy school who demonstrate potential for a high level of excellence in the community pharmacy field.
4. National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Foundation Scholarships: NCPA offers several scholarships every year to recognize pharmacy students who plan to practice independent (community) pharmacy.
5. Tylenol Future Care Scholarship: While not exclusively for pharmacy students, this scholarship is open to all students pursuing a career in health care, including pharmacy.
Do keep in mind that the specifics of each scholarship (like the award amount, application deadline, and eligibility requirements) can vary, so you should thoroughly research each one before applying. Online resources like Appily can be helpful for finding more scholarships that fit your academic and career goals. And don't forget to check with your school's financial aid office for more personalized scholarship recommendations!
