PharmD Scholarships
Thanks to many generous donors, scholarship and fellowship funds were created at the College to offer Pharmacy scholarships for PharmD students. These funds provide invaluable financial support for professional students every year, and our program is considered among the most generous program of any College of Pharmacy in the nation, thanks to our alumni and friends of the College. Scholarships are intended to help reduce the cost of education for professional students in our program.
Beginning Fall 2018, the College implemented a new scholarship program for incoming students. This Pharmacy Scholarship program will complement our shift to reduce the differential between resident and non-resident tuition rates for students, in order to create a structure that allows Michigan to compete for the best students. Approximately 40% of the incoming class will receive a scholarship to reduce the cost of tuition. Scholarships are based on academic excellence and strong evidence of community engagement. Michigan Residents selected for a Pharmacy Scholarship will receive $4,000 per year ($2,000 per term) off tuition. In the 4th year the scholarship increases to $6,000 to assist with the required three terms of enrollment. Non-Michigan Residents selected for a Pharmacy Scholarship will receive $8,000 per year ($4,000 per term) off tuition. In the 4th year the scholarship increases to $12,000 to assist with the required three terms of enrollment. Students must remain in good academic standing in order to continue to receive their scholarship each year. There is no application process; all admitted applicants are considered for these scholarships.
In addition, the College offers Dean's Scholarships for students who maintain a 3.6 or higher grade point average. Dean’s Scholarships are awarded to second-, third-, and fourth-year PharmD students at the end of each year. Details can be found below. For more information about these and other financial aid programs administered by the College, contact the Student Services Office at the College of Pharmacy.
