How to win pharmacy scholarships
Finding scholarships to apply for is only half the battle. Once you’ve found a scholarship, you still must apply and beat out other candidates to win it. Luckily, we have quite a few resources that can help you!
Being familiar with the common scholarship application questions that are out there is a great place to start. Once you know what a scholarship requires, you can take advantage of more specific articles that show you how to write a 250 word essay or a 500 word essay, how to write a scholarship resume and how to write an essay about yourself.
Remember, winning scholarships is not something that happens randomly. You have to put in the work, but with us at your side, receiving scholarships should become more common!
Financial aid tips for pharmacy school students
Current and prospective pharmacy school students can also qualify for other types of financial aid!
Need-based financial aid
Make sure that you also take advantage of all need-based financial aid opportunities. Even if you don’t think you qualify, it is smart to apply since we never know what the future holds. This includes applying for Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work study. To apply for need-based financial aid, submit the FAFSA and for some schools, the CSS Profile.
Remember, deadlines are important! Be sure to apply for financial aid by the appropriate CSS Profile and FAFSA deadlines. If you apply for financial aid and are accepted to the college, you will receive a financial aid award letter. Your letter outlines the various types of aid available to you.
College-specific scholarships
Finally, make sure that you research scholarships at the colleges and universities that you are applying at. Many times, they offer unique scholarship opportunities that you won’t find by doing a general online search. Good luck!
