Areas to Support

Student Scholarships

Reducing student debt and increasing the number of need-based scholarships is one of the OneMUSC’s strategic initiatives. Through gifts to the College of Pharmacy Scholarship Funds, donors are directly impacting our students and allowing each of them to create their own MUSC pharmacy experience.

 

The College of Pharmacy Scholarship and Awards Fund supports need-based scholarships to MUSC College of Pharmacy students. These scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Scholarship and Awards Committee based on application submissions.
