ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Pharmacy students from the University of South Carolina, the University of Arkansas and the University of Georgia have been named finalists for the 2022 Good Neighbor Pharmacy NCPA Pruitt-Schutte Student Business Plan Competition. The purpose of the competition is to motivate students in pharmacy school to create a thought-out plan for either purchasing an existing pharmacy or opening a pharmacy from the ground up, and to prepare tomorrow’s pharmacy entrepreneurs for a successful future. The three teams will present their business plans in a live competition on Oct. 1 at the NCPA Annual Convention in Kansas City, Mo. The winning team will be announced Oct. 2. First place will receive $3,000 for the NCPA student chapter and $3,000 for the school in the dean’s name to promote independent pharmacy. Second place will receive $2,000 to the NCPA student chapter and $2,000 to the school in the dean’s name to promote independent pharmacy. Third place will receive $1,000 to the NCPA student chapter and $1,000 to the school in the dean’s name to promote independent pharmacy. The Student Business Plan Competition, which is supported by Good Neighbor Pharmacy, Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company and the NCPA Foundation, honors two great champions of independent community pharmacy, the late Neil Pruitt Sr. and the late H. Joseph Schutte.
