The Michigan Pharmacy Foundation (MPF) is proud to recognize exceptional student pharmacists during the Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA) Annual Convention & Exposition. Each year, a $2,500 scholarship is awarded to at least one student pharmacist at each of Michigan’s three colleges of pharmacy. The Larry Wagenknecht Leadership Scholarship is a $3,000 scholarship established in 2021. Since 2002, MPF has awarded more than $150,000 in scholarships to deserving future practitioners.

The Michigan Pharmacy Foundation (MPF) has sponsored student pharmacist scholarships at each of the Michigan colleges of pharmacy for decades. The program is an opportunity “To Foster the Future of Pharmacy” and to pay forward the investments made in the Foundation. The program was originally administered by each college until 2013, when the MPF Board of Trustees made the decision to operate it through an application process in an effort to grow awareness. The scholarship program was redesigned to recognize a P2, P3, and P4 student pharmacist currently enrolled in a pharmacy program at an accredited college of pharmacy in the state of Michigan. Student pharmacists are required to submit a formal application that gathers information about their leadership skills, academic performance and interest in professional advancement.
