AmerisourceBergen Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist associates’ children who plan to continue their education in college or vocational-technical school. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice within the United States or Canada.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national origin.

Applicants to The AmerisourceBergen Foundation Scholarship Program must:

  • Be dependent* children of regular full-time or part-time AmerisourceBergen associates who have a minimum of six (6) months of employment with the company as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the associate’s household or primarily supported by the associate.
  • Be high school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll or students who are already enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational technical school within the United States or Canada for the entire upcoming academic year.
