Cincottas endow pharmacy scholarship
September 25, 2015
The University of
Sydney has hailed
the generosity of the
Cincotta family, which
has established a new
perpetual scholarship to
benefit future pharmacy
students.
Three generations
of the Cincotta family
studied pharmacy at
the University of Sydney,
with Albert
(Umberto) attaining
a Materia Medica
(Pharmacol) in 1951; his son Joseph
graduating with a Bachelor of
Pharmacy in 1980; and Joseph’s
daughter Alexa completing a
BPharm last year.
All three now work together at
the Campsie branch of Cincotta
Chemist, which was originally
established in Merrylands in 1952
and had a firm focus on service,
pioneering after-hours opening,
despite resistance at the time.
The new Umberto Cincotta
Scholarship in Pharmacy aims to
help a student who has a passion
for the profession but doesn’t have
the funding, and will provide the
possibility of studying pharmacy for
promising students for generations
to come.
