The College of Pharmacy has several scholarships and awards available to its students once admitted to the program. Most of this financial aid is provided by private pharmaceutical organizations; however, the College offers funds directly through two endowments, the Jack Eckerd and Charlotte Liberty Family pharmacy scholarships. There are approximately ten scholarships from these funds, available to students admitted to the first professional year of study, which will be awarded during the students’ first semester.

After the first professional year in the College of Pharmacy, additional financial aid from several pharmacy sources is available for students in satisfactory academic standing.

The Financial Aid Handbook lists all College Scholarships, Awards and Loans. The application to apply for the ones listed in the handbook become available every October. An email will be sent to let the students know when it is posted.
