Financial Aid - Graduate Students
UHCOP Competitive Scholarships & Fellowships
Based on funding availability in any given year, Ph.D. graduate students may be eligible for financial assistance through scholarships or fellowships within UH College of Pharmacy. Recipients are selected by the UHCOP Student Affairs Committee.
Each spring, applications for scholarships are solicited from all COP Ph.D. graduate students. A student may then submit an application for a scholarship, and the college Student Affairs Committee decides on the specific award given to a student, if any.
A number of different scholarship funds have been established, each with specific eligibility requirements, such as merit, need, career goals, or others. The student will be notified of having received an award before the beginning of the fall semester. A few of the named scholarships awarded to COP Ph.D. graduate students are shown here.
