Progressive Pharmacy Student Educational Assistance Program
Apply now
Program Details:
The Walgreen Co. Progressive Pharmacy Student Educational Assistance Program (the Progressive Program) is offered to pharmacy students attending their last four years of pharmacy school. This program offers enhanced awards, which increase each year a student participates. The first time a student applies and meets all of the requirements, he/she will receive $1,500. Every subsequent year he/she applies the dollar amount will increase by $500. These award amounts may be equitably adjusted for students attending three-year pharmacy programs such that the award will be $1,500, $3,000 or $4,500.
To participate in the Progressive Program students must meet the following requirements:
- Be in one of your last four years of professional pharmacy school
- Be a past or present Walgreens Employee
- Be recommended by a Walgreens District Pharmacy Supervisor, District
Manager and the Educational Assistance Program Committee
After graduating from pharmacy school, the student must remain employed with Walgreens on a full-time basis as a pharmacist for the same number of years for which he/she participated in the Progressive Program. (The work requirement is equitably adjusted for students attending three-year pharmacy programs such that the first year a student receives an award he/she will have a 1 year work requirement and each additional award received will add a 1 ½ year work requirement). If a student leaves Walgreens before that period of time elapses, he/she will have to repay the award received.
Application Period:
Applications for the Progressive Programs will be accepted between September 1,
2008 and July 31, 2009 for the 2008 - 2009 school year.
