Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends the ULM Foundation is able to offer scholarships to College of Pharmacy students.  To be eligible a student must be accepted to and enrolled in the ULM College of Pharmacy Professional Program.

To apply, current professional pharmacy students must complete two forms:

1. The ULM Foundation Scholarship Application available on the ULM Foundation web site.

2. The College of Pharmacy Scholarship Application including the Personal Statement.

The deadline for completing both applications is February 15 for the following academic year.  Students may apply for more than one scholarship. All ULM Foundation Scholarship Applications (for each scholarship applied for) and a single College of Pharmacy Scholarship Application and Personal Statement are to be turned in to the Office of Student and Professional Affairs.

The College of Pharmacy Scholarship Committee takes several factors into consideration when reviewing scholarship applications including, but not limited to, the following: anticipated graduation date, academic achievement, employment, the personal statement, extracurricular activities, and involvement in student organizations within the College and/or University.

Below is a list of available College of Pharmacy scholarships and eligibility criteria, information on individual scholarships can also be found at the ULM Foundation web site.  Please review all the information carefully to determine eligibility.
