Three pharmacy students receive awards from National Pharmaceutical Association Foundation

Three doctor of pharmacy candidates were presented awards by the National Pharmaceutical Association Foundation at the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) national conference in Arlington, Virginia.

Winnifred Ampomaah (’16) received the Ms. Ramona McCarthy Hawkins book award.

Kendra Ednacot (’15) received the Dr. Craig and Saundra Ruffin Endowed Scholarship and was named runner up for the Rite Aid Community Leader Award.

Emily Erpenbeck (’16) was awarded second place for the Walmart/National Pharmaceutical Association Future Leaders in Pharmacy Award. While there is typically only one of these awards  given, Erpenbeck’s application made such an impression that a second place was created to acknowledge her exemplary qualifications.

The Mission of the National Pharmaceutical Association Foundation is to support the activities of the National Pharmaceutical Association, including education programs, research projects, and innovative pharmacy practices. Furthermore, the National Pharmaceutical Association Foundation provides scholarships to minority and underserved students that are members of the Student National Pharmaceutical Association.
