Innovation & Diversity Tracks

The NACDS Foundation Scholarship Program has two tracks: one with focus on innovation in patient care and pharmacy practice and the other aimed at promoting diversity by fostering support and education in under-represented populations.

Fully accredited schools and colleges of pharmacy may apply for both innovation and diversity awards; one submission per track. In progress application drafts cannot be saved.
