For the 2024-25 academic year, Good Neighbor Pharmacypartnered with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's Pharmacy Doctorate program, where Spicer and Elhussein attend as P1 and P3 students, respectively.

"I speak for Good Neighbor Pharmacy and the Cencora Impact Foundationwhen I extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners of this year's Good Neighbor Pharmacy Scholarship," said Jenni Zilka, President of Good Neighbor Pharmacy." We are thrilled to offer this joint scholarship program and help support the aspirations of future pharmacists like Megan and Muhanad. It cannot be overstated how critical pharmacists - and the accessible care that they provide - are to every community. With this program, we hope to help cement their presence and role for years to come, and even inspire independent ownership."

Each year, Good Neighbor Pharmacy and the Cencora Impact Foundation will select a different Pharmacy Doctorate program at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to support. All rising P1 students at that institution will be eligible to apply for the scholarship. The application for the 2025 scholarship will open in Spring 2025.
