Kmart Pharmacy Scholarship

Name: Kmart Pharmacy Scholarship for Excellence in Community Pharmacy

Award Amount: $25,000

Information And Eligibility:
The Kmart Pharmacy Scholarship for Excellence in Community Pharmacy is a national, professionally focused scholarship program created to support pharmacy students who are preparing for careers in community-based pharmacy practice. Established to address the rising cost of pharmacy education and to strengthen the future workforce in community pharmacy settings, the program provides substantial financial support to students who demonstrate commitment to patient-centered care and professional development.

Each year, the scholarship program funds multiple endowed awards distributed through participating schools of pharmacy at accredited colleges and universities across the United States. Rather than operating as a direct-to-student application program, the scholarship is administered at the institutional level, with awards coordinated through individual pharmacy schools and their financial aid offices. Students interested in the scholarship are encouraged to confirm participation with their school’s college of pharmacy or financial aid department.

The scholarship is intended for students who are well into their professional pharmacy education. Eligible applicants must be enrolled full time in the later stages of a Doctor of Pharmacy program and actively gaining real-world experience through employment in a community pharmacy environment. Employment may be with any community pharmacy and is not limited to Kmart Pharmacy locations. This employment requirement reflects the scholarship’s emphasis on applied learning and direct engagement with patient care.

Academic eligibility standards for the scholarship are intentionally inclusive, allowing a broad range of students to qualify while still ensuring academic readiness. Applicants must meet a minimum grade point average requirement and demonstrate satisfactory progress toward degree completion. By combining academic eligibility with professional employment criteria, the scholarship prioritizes students who are actively preparing to serve communities through accessible pharmacy care.

The Kmart Pharmacy Scholarship for Excellence in Community Pharmacy represents a significant investment in future pharmacists who plan to work in community settings, where pharmacists play a critical role in medication management, patient education, and public health. For recipients, the award provides meaningful financial relief during the most demanding years of pharmacy training while recognizing dedication to the profession.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be enrolled full time at a participating college or university with an accredited school of pharmacy.
