Support the Scholarship Program

Since its inception more than 25 years ago, the NACDS Foundation Scholarship Program has provided nearly $5 million in funding for educational initiatives, thanks to the generous support of the program’s benefactors.

NACDS Foundation Scholarship awards are designed to support educational programs holding promise to:

1. Meaningfully improve community health outcomes, health equity and patient care through innovation;
2. Elevate and innovate pharmacy school curricula to reflect contemporary clinical practice; and/or
3. Foster and support education in under-represented populations.

All scholarship awards provided by the NACDS Foundation are merit-based, having undergone a rigorous, competitive review process.

Of the program’s two award tracks, one targets innovation of patient care by enhancing pharmacy practice and the other promotes diversity by fostering support and education in under-represented populations. The number and amount of awards may vary by year. See prior press releases for a sense of prior successfully funded programs, and number or amount of awards provided per year.
