Testimonial
“Without the [Tuition Break/Regional Student Program], I would not have been able to attend pharmacy school at all because of the cost, let alone, the school of my choice, URI. I would most likely have had to go to a local school to pursue another option. I love being a pharmacist and it certainly made my parents’ lives easier since they had lost their savings’ and jobs during in the 80’s and have yet to build a nest egg back... very appreciative.”
