Pharmacy students: Consider applying for the Walmart Community Pharmacy Scholarship

The Financial Aid Office would like to announce a scholarship opportunity for the College of Pharmacy. The 2025 application cycle for the Walmart Community Pharmacy Scholarship for Pharmacy Students is now open. This scholarship will be awarded to seven students who are accepted or enrolled in the professional curriculum at a U.S. college or school of pharmacy. Awardees must demonstrate leadership, academic success and a commitment to serving rural or medically underserved patient populations. Each awardee will receive a single $5,000 scholarship.

Qualified applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Eligible student statuses during the 2025-2026 program:
• Accepted into a professional Pharm.D. program for the 2025 entering class (i.e., P1 student during the 2025-2026 academic year)

• Enrolled as a P2 Pharm.D. student in an accelerated three-year program

• Students must demonstrate leadership, academic success and a commitment to serving rural, medically underserved areas or populations (MUA/Ps), or Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) upon graduation from a Pharm.D. degree program.
• Only U.S. citizens and permanent U.S. residents are eligible
• Students must be in good standing (minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale) at their current (or most recent) institution at the time of application. Applicants from schools with other grading systems are still eligible to apply for the scholarship.
• Students must submit a completed application by the deadline.
• If a scholarship is awarded to an accepted (not yet enrolled) pharmacy student, the award will be granted to the institution after the individual has started classes in the Pharm.D. Program.
• Awardees will be ineligible to apply for this scholarship again in the future.
• Students who will graduate from a Pharm.D. program in 2025 are NOT eligible for the scholarship.
• Commitment to practice in community pharmacy with evidence of previous work or volunteerism in community practice.

Completed applications are due July 7, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time (HT). Completed applications will be reviewed by September 2025 and scholarship recipients will be notified during Fall 2025. Funds will be forwarded to the recipients institution during Fall 2025.
