Three College of Pharmacy students recently learned they have been awarded scholarships.

Drew Cloutier (Pharmacy, ’19), Lindsey Parmelee (Pharmacy, ’19) and Kyle Williams (Pharmacy, ’20) have been awarded scholarships from the Maine Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (MSHP), the largest organization in Maine for clinical pharmacists.

Eighty-two students applied for the five scholarships that were awarded.

Parmelee was also a winner in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Walmart Scholars Program, along with her mentor Gurkishan S. Chadha, M.Sc., Ph.D., assistant clinical professor in the College of Pharmacy.

Designed to further strengthen the skills of top pharmacy students, this competitive program was developed specifically for students planning to pursue a career in academic pharmacy.

Parmelee matched with Portsmouth Regional Hospital's post-graduate residency program in New Hampshire, where she will earn her teaching certificate. 

The Walmart Scholars Program provides $1,000 scholarships to 85 pharmacy students/residents and their mentors from AACP member institutions.

The scholarship will cover the cost of attendance at the 2019 AACP Annual Meeting and Teachers Seminar in Chicago, Illinois.
