ASHP Midyear Travel Award Program

The ASHP Midyear Travel Award Program is a competitive award program designed to enhance the pharmacy workforce's diversity and inclusivity for those seeking post-graduate training, residency, or fellowships. Recipients of this travel award can enhance their pharmacy education by receiving partial support to attend the 2023 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition. The inaugural cycle will provide stipends of $500 to at least 30 current PharmD candidates expected to graduate from pharmacy school in Spring 2024.

The ASHP Midyear Travel Award Program is made possible through a collaboration among ASHP, the ASHP Foundation, and PharmGradWishlist, a “mutual aid movement” organized by a group of practicing pharmacists throughout the United States with the goal of supporting racially and ethnically minoritized pharmacist trainees. 

In alignment with the goal of improving the diversity of the workforce, application elements include:

• Self-identification with racially and/or ethnically minoritized group(s)
• Financial need
• Caregiving responsibilities and financial support of others
• Extracurricular activities: leadership, community service, and work
• Post-graduate training and career plans

Each selected awardee will receive the following:

• Full-meeting registration for the 2023 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition in Anaheim, CA, Dec 3 – 7, 2023
• A stipend of $500 to support travel expenses
• 1-year ASHP student membership
• Recognition via electronic communications through ASHP official channels and during the ASHP Foundation Donor event at Midyear

Eligibility:
