Faculty & Student Support
An integral part of our corporate mandate is to foster growth, supplement education and help secure
the future of community pharmacy. Procurity provides substantial support to the Faculties of
Pharmacy in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan, and we are proud of our ongoing role in the
learning community.
Donations
In 2003, Procurity donated over $1M to the new University of Manitoba Faculty of Pharmacy campus
in downtown Winnipeg, with the aim of doubling the number of Manitoba graduates per year.
Scholarships

merit in the Pharmacy Skills Lab.
- Ten travel grants of $500 each are awarded to third-year students who do their two-week community
placement in a rural setting.

and facilities, and opportunities to liaise with Procurity members and staff.
