Financial Aid and Scholarships - 3.2

Oregon State University 

All Oregon State University Pharm.D. students (P1-P4) are eligible to apply for financial assistance through OSU’s Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year for which they would like to be considered for aid.  Information about Financial Aid programs, Scholarships, and Emergency Loans can be found on the Financial Aid website.  

OSU’s FAFSA School Code is 003210. 

College of Pharmacy 

The OSU College of Pharmacy awards more than $150,000 in scholarships to Pharm.D. students annually. Scholarships are generally only available to Pharm.D. students after completion of the first year. A limited number of scholarships may be available for incoming professional students, but an application is not necessary or required.  

Other Funding Sources 

For information on other funding sources, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) has an online financial aid database called the Pharmacy Education Financial Programs (PEFP). The PEFP database contains scholarship, loan, grant and award information for current professional and graduate pharmacy students. Some awards require registration at specific colleges, but others are open to all pharmacy students. The PEFP is compiled annually by the 10 pharmacy-related member organizations of the Career Information Clearinghouse (CIC). It is hosted on the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS).  

Emergency Funding 

The Student Emergency fund was created to provide limited emergency financial support to currently enrolled full-time pharmacy students who are unable to meet essential expenses due to a temporary or unexpected hardship that threatens their ability to remain enrolled as a pharmacy student. Emergency Funds will be dispersed in cases where continued enrollment in the Pharm.D. program is inhibited by the expense, and funding is not available from other sources as determined by Office of Student Success and Engagement (OSSE).  Please contact someone in the Office of Student Success & Engagement if you would like more information on receiving emergency funding.
