Pacific Gives 2025

PharmD student Caleb Arizmendez

“Pharmacy is where science meets compassion, and I am eager to contribute through both knowledge and empathy. I am passionate about patient care and aspire to become a board-certified oncology pharmacist.

Because of support from scholarship donors, I’ve been able to take on leadership roles that help me develop as a future pharmacist. I’ve also dedicated time to research with the hope of improving patient care. Most importantly, I have been able to invest fully in my studies, knowing I am building a foundation for a career where I can give back to my community.”

PharmD student Maria Tawadrous

“Receiving a scholarship positively impacts my education by reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus more on my studies. It opens up opportunities I might not have had otherwise, such as participating in extracurriculars or pursuing advanced courses.”
