Scholarships

The McKesson Foundation supports education through a variety of programs.

For McKesson employees, we offer educational grants, scholarships for employees' children, and our educational matching gift program.  Each year, the McKesson Foundation awards more than 120 scholarships to employees' children, including those awarded via the National Merit and Scholarship America programs.

Better patient health requires trained and passionate healthcare providers. Each year, McKesson supports national scholarship programs to provide educational five opportunities for students pursing employment in health care.
