Paramaz Avedisian Pharmacy Scholarship

The purpose of the Fund shall be 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. Preference is for the award to be made to a student with demonstrated financial need and who has demonstrated interest in Armenian culture, has demonstrated interest in serving Armenian communities and/or has demonstrated interest in serving issues of importance to the Armenian community, including, but not limited to, human rights. If no such student exists, the award will be provided to a Rhode Island resident with similar criteria at the discretion of the appropriate scholarship committee within the College of Pharmacy.
