Full tuition scholarship pharmacy schools?

[MShopes]

Is there any pharmacy programs that offer full tuition scholarships? I have a 4.0 GPA with 92 credits and I took a lot of upper level courses such as molecular biology, analytical chemistry, microbiology...etc. I also have pharmacy experience as a pharmacy tech and I'm currently doing a biochemistry research (hoping to publish in this May) and my PCAT is 79 % composite but that's because the English sections are low. My science sections are pretty high. English is my second language as well and I have been in USA for 6 years. Oh and I also tutor organic chemistry, general chemistry, and biology to college students.

And please no rude responses. Everyone would love a full tuition scholarship just like me. Thanks to any one in advance!

I assume you are talking about merit based scholarships? If so, I am completely unaware of any schools that give complete tuition scholarships based on performance. Perhaps this is to be expected because a number of pharmacy school applicants have exceptional undergraduate records just like you (not to take away from your accomplishments, which are outstanding).

If you really want everything paid for, one option I can think of would be finding a PharmD/PhD program that offers waived tuition. Of course, then you are looking at the extra time and effort required for the PhD part. Another option would be to commit to military service in exchange for paid school.

The above poster pretty much hit the nail on the head. There are so, so many applicants with laundry lists of impressive accomplishments like yours (which are nonetheless fantastic 🙂) that it would be difficult to hand out a scholarship of that nature. No school that I've heard of has one. But there is money to be had, I have heard; once you're connected with a pharm school of your choice, oftentimes they have internal scholarships you can apply for. Other than that...loans.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I wasn't trying to show that I'm unique in my accomplishments because I know some people who are like me and some people who have better stats than I do. But what you said is correct according to my google search; I can only get full tuition scholarship by joining the military or by joining a PhD/PharmD joint program.

And don't forget that you'll enter the military as a Captain.
