UT Pharmacy seeks Matthews Scholarship applicants
Graduate student applications for the B. Bernard Matthews Scholarship are being accepted through January 10, 2008 by The University of Texas (UT) at Austin College of Pharmacy.
Up to three $7,500 scholarships are available annually to candidates for admission to the Graduate Program at the University of Texas College of Pharmacy.
Eligible applicants must be in their fourth professional year of an ACPE-accredited Pharm.D. program, or be graduates of an ACPE-accredited pharmacy degree program, either B.S. or Pharm.D. Individuals applying for entry into the UT-Austin Pharmacy Graduate Program for the first time, and qualified students graduating from the masters program at UT-Austin or other U.S. Colleges of Pharmacy who wish to pursue the Ph.D. degree in Pharmacy are eligible for this program.
The scholarship is made possible from a bequest from the estate of Maebess Matthews, a UT Business School graduate who worked for the UT System for 42 years before retiring in 1976. Provisions of her will established three scholarships at UT Austin - one in the College of Nursing, one in the College of Business, and one at the College of Pharmacy. The gift to the College of Pharmacy honors her father, B. Bernard Matthews.
