Undergraduate Awards
We encourage all undergraduate student pharmacists to complete and submit an application through the Undergraduate Scholarships website by March 31st each year.

By completing this application, Student Financial Services can ensure all criteria are met, including:
- Professionalism
- Contributions to student life in the Faculty or University
- Personal and professional qualities and interests which may ultimately contribute to the advancement of the profession of pharmacy
