Teva UK Limited Repeats Student Bursary Offer
By Teva Uk Ltd, PRNESunday, July 25, 2010
CASTLEFORD, England, July 26, 2010 - Teva UK Limited, the UK's leading generics manufacturer, has opened up
its Student Bursary Scheme for the third year running.
The company launched the bursary scheme in 2008 as part of plans to
extend its support of pharmacy in the UK. Student bursaries are available to
students who want to gain a degree-level qualification in pharmacy or similar
but may suffer hardship without additional financial support. Last year,
bursaries were awarded to five individuals currently studying for a pharmacy
degree at university, who each receive a payment of GBP500 for up to three
years of study, providing they continue their studies.
Teva is running the scheme again in 2010, and says that it is now more
important than ever to offer this kind of help. Lynda Wilebore, the company's
UK HR Director, said: "We hope this scheme will make an important
contribution to lives of under-privileged students in the UK, particularly at
a time when financial considerations are becoming a prime concern for
individuals wishing to undertake a degree course."
She added: "As the UK's leading generics company, we're completely
committed to pharmacy in the UK.
This means we're not only interested in supporting the pharmacists of
today, but also in ensuring the pharmacists of tomorrow get the best
possible start. We believe it is important to have a community support
programme that is relevant to our business."
The Student Bursary Scheme is open to any UK home student who is either
already attending, or who has been offered a place on, any full-time
UK-based undergraduate course approved by a school of pharmacy or similar.
Each year, bursaries comprising of GBP500 payment for each year of study
will be offered to students who may suffer difficulty without additional
financial support. Applicants should be in receipt of the Education
Maintenance Allowance or Carers Allowance. The closing date for the next
round of applications is 30th September 2010.
