The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy offers diverse types of scholarships to students (including merit-based, need-based and career-focused) annually to students enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program who meet or exceed eligibility criteria. Scholarship applications for continuing Pharm.D. students must be submitted online each year. Recipients are notified in late summer that their awards will be applied to tuition and fees for the next academic year. Scholarship award amounts typically range from $2,000 to $5,000 and approximately 165 scholarships are awarded each year.

Requirements: Scholarships are competitive and the scholarship review committee considers the combination of factors such as financial need, grade point average, work experience, extra-curricular, leadership and service activities. Certain scholarships target students with an interest in community, independent and entrepreneurial pharmacy. In order to apply for need-based scholarships, students must have the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with the Office of Student Financial Aid for the fall semester, which demonstrates their “initial need”.

Scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donations from alumni and friends. We are proud to award over $520,000 in scholarships for 2024-2025 academic year. Please see this infographic for more information.
