2021 ESG Report Healthy Community Scholarships for future health professionals Building a stellar workforce begins with investing in the health care leaders of tomorrow. The demand for highly skilled health professionals, including pharmacists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants is only expected to increase. We’re proud to have provided nearly $900,000 in scholarships through the CVS Health Foundation in 2021 to pharmacy, nursing and physician- assistant schools across the country. To support the educational attainment of our colleagues’ families, we also awarded 185 children of full-time employees a scholarship to a two- or four-year college or university, totaling nearly $600,000 awarded in scholarships. In 2021, we joined with UNCF (formerly United Negro College Fund) the nation’s largest minority education and college readiness organization, to launch the CVS Health Foundation Health Care Careers Scholarship as part of our social justice and equity commitments. The five-year, $5 million program offers financial assistance to Black and Latino college students pursuing a career in pharmacy, medicine or health administration — strengthening the pool of talented college graduates ready to join the health care workforce. In the first year of awards, the program granted scholarships to 45 students. 50
