The professionals who spend their lives caring for and raising animals are unsung heroes of the healthcare industry, keeping our furry friends healthy and happy.
However, the extensive education required to enter the veterinary field comes at a high cost, which is inaccessible for many students with limited financial resources. Ensuring the success of the veterinary industry requires providing ample support to bright students who need funding in order to stay in school.
This scholarship aims to support students who will be pursuing careers in animal science, veterinary medicine or other related fields so they can go on to make their mark in the field.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is pursuing animal science, veterinary medicine, or other related fields with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship, but applicants with volunteering experience or a background in 4H, FFA, vet society, or a related club are preferred.
To apply, tell us about yourself, what your favorite animal is, and how your experiences with animals have inspired you to pursue a career in animal or veterinary science.
Tell us about yourself and answer the following questions: What is your favorite animal? How have your interactions with animals influenced your choice to pursue a career centered around them?
