The Community Service Scholarship Award is awarded each year to students interested in studying to become a pharmacist. Look at what some of our scholarship recipients have to say!
“I am incredibly grateful to have been selected as a recipient of the Chicago Pharmacists Association Foundation’s 2025 Community Service Scholarship. This support came at a crucial time in my academic journey and helped ease the financial burden of school-related expenses. This scholarship represents a significant step toward achieving my goals in pharmacy school. It allowed me to focus more on my studies and less on how I would afford my needs for the rest of this semester. Beyond the financial help, receiving this scholarship reminded me that my hard work is being recognized and supported. Because of this, I feel even more confident about giving back to my community. Thank you to the donors and the selection committee for believing in me. Your generosity truly makes a difference.”

“I am truly thankful to CPhAF for choosing me as a two- time recipient for 2023 & 2024. The scholarship allowed me the freedom to apply more structured time to study, instead of having to work more. With the scholarship funds, I was able to pay multiple bills that were due. I studied so much that I graduated Salutatorian of my class and passed all my licensing exams on the first try. Thank you CPhAF for all your care, courage, and dedication to students and the community.”
