Our Commitment to Diversity

The College of Pharmacy at the Western University of Health Sciences is committed to creating an academic environment that celebrates diversity and the value that multicultural perspectives add to the quality of the educational experience. Thus, the College seeks to attract students who can offer different perspectives on life in a multicultural society and who can contribute to the awareness of socioeconomic and multicultural diversity at WesternU. To the extent that funds are available, diversity-based scholarships may be granted to deserving individuals who meet our criteria as outlined below:

Eligibility Criteria

  • Some diversity-based scholarships will be based on geographic location identified as underserved in terms of pharmaceutical care.
  • Diversity-based scholarships will be offered only to those who meet our published academic quality standards.
  • Applicants for diversity-based scholarships will be required to provide a statement describing how they will contribute to the understanding of diversity in the learning environment and how they will contribute to the service of underrepresented populations.
