Opportunities for Personal Giving
The Pharmacy Annual Fund
There are many ways alumni and friends make gifts to the College. But none have greater day to day impact than gifts to the College's Annual Fund. While endowment funds help ensure long-term financial stability, the Annual Fund is the College's most important source of unrestricted dollars--dollars that are vital for scholarship support, student and faculty research projects, special programs, one-of-a-kind events, and many other services and programs that define a University of Michigan education.
Endowment for Student Support
Securing additional endowed scholarship support for students is among the highest priorities of the College. The cost to educate our third- and fourth-year doctor of pharmacy students, including tuition and fees, books and supplies, and living expenses, is now approximately $30,000 per year for Michigan residents and almost $40,000 per year for out-of-state students. Tuition and stipend for our graduate students currently exceeds $35,000 annually. The College provides financial support for more than 80 percent of our third- and fourth-year doctor of pharmacy students, and full tuition and stipend for virtually all graduate students.
Endowed Doctor of Pharmacy Scholarships
Endowed funds for financial assistance which offer partial to full tuition support may be established with gifts of $10,000 or more.
Endowed Graduate Fellowships
Endowed graduate student fellowships, which provide partial to full tuition and stipend, may be established with gifts of $750,000 or more.
Endowment for Faculty Support
Endowed faculty positions are vital to the College's ability to attract and retain world-renowned faculty for research and teaching and enable them to focus on the discovery of scientific solutions to problems in drug therapy and design.
Endowed Full Professorships may be established with gifts of $2 million or more. Other important faculty positions, including Associate or Assistant Professorships, Lectureships and Visiting Professorships, may be endowed with gifts of $500,000 or more.
Endowed and Expendable Research Funds
The advancement of scientific knowledge through research plays an integral part in preparing students for careers in pharmacy. Indeed, students working closely with faculty of the College have an active role in developing new drugs, drug delivery systems, clinical drug therapy, and pharmacy and health care systems.
To ensure that present and future scholars can continue the College's distinguished tradition of excellence in pharmaceutical research, the College seeks additional funds for research. Such funding will support novel research and preliminary investigations that hold the promise of new discoveries and will attract support from sources outside the University.
Equipment
The College seeks support for computers, printers, and software, especially those needed for student use and for the dispensing laboratory.
The College seeks funds to advance Instructional Technology, including the development of computer-assisted learning modules for classroom and individual use, clinical skills development, research, and examination preparation.
Support to Enhance Faculty and Student Seminar Programs
The College offers opportunities to support Seminar Programs for students and faculty, featuring prominent guest speakers to share information on recent research. Gifts of $10,000 to $25,000 are needed for this purpose.
