Emmons E. Roscoe and Charles W. Roscoe Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Emmons E. Roscoe, RPh, MS came to Pacific in 1955, along with Dean Rowland, to begin development of the School. As former dean at Idaho State who was dedicated to excellence, he brought wisdom and innovation in the founding of our School. He was a professor of pharmacognosy, the study and use of natural products as medicines. Emmons’ son, Charles W. Roscoe, PhD taught medicinal chemistry and is remembered for his work in structure-activity relationships, as well as the mechanisms of drug action. He was a leader in the funding efforts for the School’s first buildings on North Campus. This endowment was Powell-matched following a generous gift by Frank Roscoe and Elda Roscoe-Gustafson ’82, PharmD. This award is presented to second-year pharmacy students who demonstrated dedication to excellence, holding the highest GPA in the first four semesters of the professional program.
