Scholarship Award Information

It is the policy of the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to award scholarships on the basis that such scholarships, in addition to other scholarships received, are not to exceed the total educational costs for any one year. In the event a student has applied for and received one or more scholarships from sources other than the College of Pharmacy, the scholarship given by the College of Pharmacy, or the portion thereof in excess of educational costs, will be rescinded and revert back to the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Scholarship Fund. Exceptions to this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The scholarships provided, as a result of completing this application, are not intended for students in dire financial need — those students should contact the Financial Aid Office (Rocket Hall), where substantially greater funds may be available. 

By the end of March, all eligible incoming freshman will be mailed an application for the Dean William McKendrie Reed Scholarship. At this time, there are no other College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences scholarships available to incoming freshman students.

WestShore Pharmaceutical Association Scholarship Program

The WestShore Pharmaceutical Association is offering four $1500.00 scholarship grants to deserving students who will be entering their fifth or sixth year of pharmacy education.

The funding for these scholarship grants is provided in part by the profits generated from the annual WSPA Golf Outing and from member contributions. We appreciate the efforts of our volunteers to raise this money.

The Scholarship Committee will make its decision on the recipients based on the quality of a short essay. The essay should briefly explain what the student hopes to accomplish after graduation. The award is biased towards students who hail from Northeast Ohio and who attend an Ohio college. A willingness to live and practice in Cuyahoga or surrounding counties and to be involved in an organization such as ours is a plus.

The deadline for submission of an application is March 31, 2013. The committee will choose the final four candidates. Winners will be announced & notified in mid April. It is the wish of the organization that this money be applied solely towards books and tuition expenses.

It is hopeful that each recipient could attend the WSPA meeting and be recognized for their award before the membership.
Immediate family members of WSPA members are not eligble to participate in this program.
