Andrew Tu Scholarship in Pharmacy

The Andrew Tu Scholarship was established to support pharmacy students to pursue honours research into mental health. This scholarship honors Andrew Tu, a beloved husband, brother, son and friend, who excelled in community pharmacy where he was cherished by colleagues and customers alike for his fierce intelligence, warm and caring personality, and his infectious smile. The scholarship, generously funded by family, friends and colleagues, aims to encourage and support pharmacy graduates to make a positive impact within their profession, by raising awareness and reducing stigma around mental health. Importantly, this will support the next generation pharmacists who are at the forefront of primary care for their community, to not only identify those in need of help but be able to seek help for themselves. Recipients must be enrolled full-time in the final year of either a Bachelor of Pharmacy or Bachelor of Pharmacy and Management, and must be completing mental health research as part of their honours work in the units PHAR4815 Research Methods and PHAR4830 Honours.
