Being a Wisconsin native and as a 'walk-on' to the University of Wisconsin, it was a privilege to graduate in pharmacy and play Big Ten basketball in the 1950s. Our contribution to University Athletics, the Athletic Training Education Program and the sports medicine facilities is very important to me. Curt Mueller (’57 BS Pharm) |
|  | Educating the pharmacy workforce of the future is a key responsibility of the School. In-state pharmacy students now pay more than $11,000 for years one, two and three, and over $13,000 for year four—and recent tuition increases have been steep. The average Pharmacy student now carries about $85,000 in student loan debt upon graduation. Access to higher education, including the UW, is increasingly restricted to higher income families. This is becoming a serious problem for historically under-represented groups and low-income families from inner-city and rural areas in Wisconsin.
The School is committed to keeping the doors to a pharmacy education open to all qualified students, regardless of socioeconomic status. Private gifts for student scholarships will ensure broader access and strengthen the pharmacy workforce of the future. |
