PQA has a new scholarship opportunity for students at PQA member organizations to take free of charge the PQA Medication Use Quality online training program. This program provides 15 hours of education on the fundamentals of quality measurement and helps individuals master today’s quality landscape.  

As the 2025-26 academic year gets underway, this is a great opportunity for students interested in quality to deepen their knowledge on topics that will impact their careers. Individuals can take individual courses or complete the full 15-hour program, which will earn them a certificate they can use to promote their achievement. 

The program is open to students who have completed at least their second year of study in a pharmacy or other health care degree program. The program’s on-demand, online education courses allow students to learn at their own pace and on their own time, an important benefit for busy academic schedules. 

Applications for the scholarship are being accepted now through Friday, October 3. The application process requires individuals to provide a resume or curriculum vitae and a brief statement on their interest in quality and desire to take the program. PQA will award up to 100 scholarships on a rolling basis to approved applicants. Individuals selected will have until June 30, 2026, to complete the program. 

Students should use this form to submit their application. 

The scholarship is part of PQA’s quality leadership program, which is made possible in part by the generous support of Merck & Co., Inc., Pfizer, and McKesson. For more information, contact PQA at [email protected].
