Arlington, Va.—For the fourth consecutive year, the Walmart Community Pharmacy Scholarship for Pharmacy Students will be awarded to seven outstanding Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree students who show dedication to serving rural or medically underserved communities—areas that often struggle with limited access to healthcare.
"By empowering students with a passion for equity in care, we’re helping build a future where quality healthcare is accessible to all, no matter where they live."
Each awardee will receive a single $5,000 scholarship to help offset the cost of their education.

In their application, students must demonstrate how they will address health disparities and make a meaningful impact in community pharmacy settings.
