Reindeer Jill was one of a very rare set of reindeer twins born on a family-run farm in Goldendale, Washington, who sadly passed away at just fifteen days old. 

Veterinary medicine and large animal care are critical for the livelihoods of pets and for the success of farming and agriculture. It takes many years of education to begin a career in veterinary medicine, which often comes at great expense, making it difficult for many students to afford to pursue their dreams.

This scholarship seeks to memorialize Reindeer Jill and to inspire the next generation of great veterinarians as they pursue their studies.

Any undergraduate or graduate student who is pursuing veterinary medicine may apply for this scholarship, but applicants particularly interested in large animal care and those from the Pacific Northwest (especially Goldendale, Washington) are preferred.

To apply, tell us why you’re interested in veterinary medicine, any experiences that inspired this career choice, and any extracurricular activities you’re involved in.
