Funding Priorities
The College of Pharmacy has embarked on an ambitious mission to maintain and build upon its reputation as one of the nation's top pharmacy schools, producing a greater number of well-trained pharmacists to serve our population. In order to achieve this goal, it must pursue the following two-part strategy.
Goal 1: Attracting and retaining world-class faculty
Of all the factors that comprise our rich learning environment, we place an extremely high premium on our faculty. Competition for top faculty is fierce and relentless, and more financial resources are needed to support their recruitment and retention.
Goal 2: Attracting and supporting gifted students
Approximately 90 percent of our pharmacy students rely on financial support to pay for their education. Scholarships enable us to compete for academically talented students who are aggressively recruited by other academic medical centers and universities. Through these scholarships, MUSC is able to produce the next generation of top researchers and health care professionals.
