Program Details:
The Walgreen Co. Pre-Pharmacy Student Educational Assistance Program (the Pre-Pharmacy Program) assists students who are already Walgreens employees by reimbursing them up to $3,000 for required pre-pharmacy courses, once they are enrolled in pharmacy school.

To participate in the Pre-Pharmacy Educational Assistance Program students must meet the following requirements:
  • Have at least 1,040 hours of employment with Walgreens.
  • Be in your first professional year of pharmacy school or be accepted into your first year of professional pharmacy school for the next semester.
  • Provide documentation of acceptance into an accredited College of Pharmacy
  • Provide tuition receipts from your pre-pharmacy coursework.
  • Be recommended by your Walgreens District Pharmacy Supervisor, District Manager, and the Educational Assistance Program Committee.
A student who participates in the Pre-Pharmacy Program must remain employed with Walgreens as a full-time pharmacist for two years after graduating from pharmacy school. If a student leaves Walgreens before that period of time elapses, he/she will have to repay the award.
