164 Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy Students are evaluated on their competency to function as interprofessional team members in a variety of direct patient care settings. Financial Aid The purpose of the Student Financial Assistance Program at Nova Southeastern University is to help as many qualified students as possible to complete their educational pursuits. Various loans, scholarships, and grants are available to qualified students and are described online at nova.edu /financialaid. Although most first-year pharmacy students will be classified as graduate students for financial aid purposes, students who matriculate with fewer than 90 semester hours and students in the Dual Admission Program will be classified as undergraduates for the first year in the Silverman College of Pharmacy.
