dependencies. During the 2014 session it was announced that the Utah School will no longer offer their annual conference. However, APhA stepped up to carry on this conference last year and will be having their 4th Annual APhA Institute on Alcoholism and
Drug Dependencies from <b>May 30-June 3rd 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah.</b></span><b> </b><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white">The Pitt APhA-ASP Chapter is fortunate enough to be able to provide two scholarships to students
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>to attend this conference every year. We will be holding our annual essay contest judged by the faculty advisors to select our winners. The APhA Institute cannot guarantee that there will be enough spots for 2 students
from each chapter, but if one or both students are selected by the APhA Institute they will receive up to $1,000 each for travel and conference expenses from our chapter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

words. Your essay should address what you will get out of the conference and why you should be selected to attend. The deadline to email your essay is <b>Monday, January 26th, 2018 at 11:59pm. </b>We will then select the 2 students who will be attending and
receiving reimbursement (by mid February), however we will submit the names of all applicants to APhA for the wait list incase any other spots open up. If a student on the wait list is accepted, the cost of the conference is on the student- there will be no
reimbursement from the school. Students on the wait list will be notified by March 9th either way. <o:p></o:p></p>
