The TAP/P4 Challenge is a scholarship fundraising initiative in which P4 students create a legacy for future pharmacy students. The scholarship funds raised by P4 students will be matched (up to $4000) by the Toledo Academy of Pharmacy (TAP).
The scholarship initiated by the Class of 2010 will benefit current and future pharmacy students. The TAP/P4 Scholarship will be awarded on a competitive basis to students enrolled full time in the Professional Division who demonstrate financial need, maintain a 3.0 G.P.A., and are involved in student and community service activities.
The goal for the Class of 2010 is 100% participation. Participation matters most. Your pledges are greatly appreciated, and the fact that you give is more important than the amount. Our ultimate goal is that every student in the Professional Division of the UT College of Pharmacy receives some form of scholarship support in the future. Your gift will help us reach that goal!
Future classes will be looking at the P4 Class of 2010 giving participation levels for guidance. The founding group will leave a legacy for years to come. Among universities in the U.S., other College of Pharmacy class gifts have reported participation levels over 90%. Let’s strive for 100%!

Making a payment on a pledge is as simple as returning the contribution with the pledge reminder. Contributors may also send the pledge payment to the UT Foundation or pay online at http://www.utfoundation.org any time throughout the year. 
The TAP/P4 Scholarship Challenge campaign monies will be held by the UT Foundation, and each year 100% will be used for scholarship awards.
