collageThe WVU School of Pharmacy awards the majority of its merit and money scholarships during the spring semester. All incoming freshmen will be considered for merit scholarships upon admission and need-based scholarships are automatically awarded to students who have been accepted based on their federal financial aid information.
Thanks to decades of successful fundraising efforts the school of pharmacy at West Virginia University offers dozens of scholarships each year. There is something here for everyone, regardless of whether you are a prospective student, or a member of the faculty, staff or local community. And due to continued funding by donors such as yourself these opportunities will grow as the school continues its ascent to be the most prominent pharmacy schools in Virginia.
Read on to get more information on WVU medical school scholarships, WVU foundation scholarship, West Virginia scholarships, Davis college WVU scholarships and WVU college of business and economics scholarships. You will also find up-to-date information on WVU school of pharmacy scholarships in related articles on Collegelearners.
