AACP is excited to announce that the application for the Walmart Health Equity Scholarship for Pharmacy Students is now open! We invite our members to share this great opportunity with eligible students.
The Walmart Health Equity Scholarship for Pharmacy Students will be awarded to seven (7) outstanding Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree students who are accepted or enrolled in the professional curriculum at a U.S. college or school of pharmacy. Selected awardees must demonstrate leadership, academic success, and a commitment to serving rural or medically underserved patient populations. Each awardee will receive a single $5,000 scholarship.
Scholarship applicants must meet the following requirements:
Eligible student statuses during the 2022-2023 Academic Year:
Accepted into a professional Pharm.D. program for the 2023 entering class,
Enrolled as a P1, P2, or P3 Pharm.D. student in a 4-year program,
Enrolled as a P1 or P2 Pharm.D. student in an accelerated 3-year program, OR
Enrolled as a P2 through P5 (out of P6) student in a 0-6/7 program.
Students must demonstrate leadership, academic success, and a commitment to serving rural, medically underserved areas or populations (MUA/Ps), or Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) upon graduation from a Pharm.D. degree program.
Only US citizens and permanent US residents are eligible.
Students must be in good standing at their current (or most recent) institution at the time of application.
Students must submit a completed application by the deadline.
If a scholarship is awarded to an accepted (not yet enrolled) pharmacy student, the award will be granted to the institution after the individual has started classes in the Pharm.D. program. These students will be ineligible to apply for this scholarship again in the future.
Students who will graduate from a Pharm.D. program in 2023 are NOT eligible for the scholarship.
Completed applications are due by September 15, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time (HT).
