Paramaz Avedisian Pharmacy Scholarship

The endowment shall be used to support a deserving pharmacy student who exhibits similar qualities and characteristics to the graduate bearing the scholarship’s name, meaning a student who has both demonstrated interest and leadership in areas beyond just academics, be it in the arts or athletics or civic interests or a combination thereof. The scholarship should be awarded to a well-rounded individual with a good academic record yet has a passion for participating in the world around them. The preference is for the award to be made to a student of Armenian descent with demonstrated financial need. (Students of Armenian descent have historically been an underrepresented population at the University). If no such student exists, the award will be provided to a Rhode Island resident with similar academic and extracurricular criteria, awarded at the discretion of the appropriate scholarship committee.
