Scholarships
For many students, making it to graduation
would not be possible
without the scholarships they receive.

In today's competitive educational environment, the College of Pharmacy must increase its student support in order to attract and retain the best and brightest students. Established with gifts from individuals, businesses and foundations, scholarships enable the college to attract and retain top students who will be leaders in the field for years to come.
Scholarship gifts can be initiated with cash, bonds, stocks, real estate, bequests, insurance, trusts and other legal instruments. The donor may decide the basic terms of the award, such as award level, student eligibility requirements, merit or financial need. There are several ways in which a donor may establish a scholarship at the College of Pharmacy:
- An Endowed Scholarship is established with a gift of $25,000 or more. The principal is invested in pooled funds at the UA Foundation and the annual payout is used to fund scholarships. An endowed scholarship exists in perpetuity, leaving a legacy for the future while benefiting current students. The scholarship is generally named after a donor, for example, the Jack R. Cole Scholarship Fund.
- A Continuing Scholarship involves an agreement with the donor to provide an annual scholarship to the college for no less than five years. Funds for the scholarship must be received by June 1 of each year in order to be awarded to a student(s) in the fall semester. The scholarship can either be named after a donor or established as a memorial to a relative or friend.
- A One-time Scholarship is a gift of a specific amount given by a donor for a specific purpose for a specified period of time.
