For a decade, SCHOTT has been awarding scholarships for bachelor (B Pharmacy) and master (M Pharmacy) degree pharmacy students in India.
The FIOLAX scholarship nominees of 2023 were celebrated recently. Due to the 10-year anniversary of the program, the award ceremony took place as part of a large celebration in Mumbai, which was attended by many alumni from previous years. The company informed that since the program started, nearly 100 students have been awarded. Additionally, SCHOTT Glass India celebrated its 25th company anniversary.
A company statement said, “With the pharma industry being one of SCHOTT’s most important business areas, the company sees it as an obligation to enhance healthcare around the world with advanced pharma glass tubing and packaging. Besides the scholarship, the awardees benefit from exclusive education on pharmaceutical glass tubing and packaging at the SCHOTT site in Jambusar, Gujarat, with production tours and training workshops.”
“Each year, we evaluate around 100 applications, including reviewing technical essays on various topics such as post-pandemic pharmacy or digitalisation and artificial intelligence in the pharmaceutical industry and conducting 1-to-1 interviews. Together with their university professors we select students based on their exceptional performance, their ideas for the future of the industry, and their personal aspirations in this six-month process. And we make sure that we support those who need it most”, says Sundeep Prabhu, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing Pharmaceutical Tubing of SCHOTT Glass India.”
