Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences receives largest gift in its history

ALBANY, N.Y. — Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences received from an anonymous donor an estate gift valued at $3 million that marks the largest bequest in the history of the college. The funds will be used to establish a scholarship fund for ACPHS students.



Upon making the gift, the donor issued the following statement:



“Though I did not attend ACPHS, I had family members who did, and they often shared fond memories of their time at the College. It feels good to know that this scholarship will help future students make similar memories, and ultimately, go on to do great things in service to their communities.”



“We are extraordinarily grateful for this gift,” stated Greg Dewey, president of Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.  “As an institution, we work hard to make an ACPHS education accessible to all students, regardless of their economic backgrounds. This gift will help further these efforts by providing additional scholarship support to deserving students.”



“The generosity of our donors has been instrumental in helping generations of students fulfill their dreams of attending ACPHS,” added VP of institutional advancement Vicki DiLorenzo. “This gift continues that legacy and raises the bar in a way that is truly inspiring.”
