Marshall University School of Pharmacy offers a variety of student scholarships which recognize characteristics such as academic performance, commitment to diversity, leadership, and financial need, and we continue to cultivate additional awards. In fact, we are pleased to announce a new series of Metro Scholarships for students living in surrounding metro counties. Donors represent pharmacy professionals and corporations, community leaders, and local philanthropists. Our faculty and staff believe so strongly in supporting your education, that we also have several employees funded scholarships.
Incoming and current students fill out one scholarship application to be considered for all eligible scholarships. The Office of Student Affairs works with the Student Affairs Committee to determine scholarship eligibility based on the information provided in the application. The deadline for all institutional scholarship applications is March 1 of each year.
Students currently enrolled in PharmD courses will receive notification of scholarships at the Awards Ceremony in April of each year.
Newly admitted students who will begin the program in the next Fall semester do not need to complete a scholarship application. These students will be notified of scholarships as awarded and will be formally recognized at the White Coat Ceremony.
Questions should be submitted to the MU School of Pharmacy Scholarship email at MUSOPScholarships@marshall.edu
