Scholarships
Each year the EOG initiative provides scholarships to University of Kansas School of Pharmacy students who have shown interest in pursuing independent pharmacy practice. EOG scholarships are awarded in June for use during the following academic year.
EOG scholarships are open to students who are members of the University of Kansas NCPA Student Chapter and information is distributed through the organization. Final decisions on the scholarship awards rest entirely with the EOG.
