The Eddie L. Boyd Scholarship Fund

To honor the long and distinguished career of Associate Professor of Pharmacy Eddie L. Boyd, friends, former students, and colleagues inside and outside the College of Pharmacy have launched the Eddie L. Boyd Scholarship Fund.

When fully funded, the Eddie L. Boyd Scholarship will be awarded annually to one or more deserving U-M PharmD students of good academic standing who demonstrate financial need.

This spring, the College asked all BSPharm and PharmD alumni who matriculated at the College during Boyd’s 30-year career to consider making a gift to the Eddie L. Boyd Scholarship Fund.

“Alumni response has been tremendous,” explains Peter Niedbala, the College’s director of advancement and external relations. “Every dollar becomes a permanent part of our endowment and will benefit students for generations to come. The Eddie L. Boyd Scholarship Fund will remain open to new donations as long as people care to give.”

Other Honored Faculty Funds

Three such fund drives are now in progress: the Eddie L. Boyd Scholarship Fund (described above); the James W. Richards Scholarship Fund; and the Leroy B. Townsend Medicinal Chemistry Graduate Student Education Fund.

To find out how you can make a gift to any of these worthy efforts, please contact the U-M College of Pharmacy Office of Advancement at 734-764-7350; e-mail: pharm.advance@umich.edu; or write the Advancement Office at 428 Church Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1065.
