PDL has announced the three recipients of the 2026 PDL Student Grant Program, recognising outstanding pharmacy students from across Australia. The Student Grant Program is designed to support the professional development of future pharmacists.
Following a competitive application process, three students were selected for the 2026 program.
The 2026 grant recipients are:
Celine Choi, University of Sydney, fifth year BPharm. Chosen conference: PSA26
Chieu-Hoang Ly Luong, University of South Australia, fourth year BPharm. Chosen conference: PSA26
Christopher Sidaros, University of Sydney, fourth year BPharm. Chosen conference: PSA26
Now in its sixth year, the PDL Student Grant Program helps reduce financial barriers for students seeking to attend key pharmacy conferences.
Each student will receive a $5,000 grant to support their attendance at a recognised pharmacy conference in Australia. The funds contribute to event registration, travel, meals and accommodation.
Winner Christopher Sidaros said, “This opportunity will allow me to deepen my understanding of the profession and connect with experienced practitioners. I’m grateful to PDL for supporting my ongoing development as a future pharmacist.”
PDL CEO David Brown commented “We are pleased to recognise and support this year’s Student Grant recipients. These opportunities play an important role in helping students build confidence, connect with the profession, and continue their development as future pharmacists.”
The program continues to attract strong national interest, highlighting the importance students place on early career development.
PDL thanks all applicants for their interest and encourages those who were unsuccessful to apply again to the PDL Student Grant Program in 2027.
