Scholarships

The program offers a $2500 scholarship to the student for 5 weeks of participation on a dairy or with a veterinarian.  Money is raised from donors who understand the importance of interesting veterinary students in food animal careers and in training food animal veterinarians and who support the concept.  Pfizer Animal Health is a major sponsor.  The Program started with 7 students and has grown so that we are now able to support over 15 veterinary student scholarships each summer.

The costs of a veterinary education have risen rapidly over the last decade, and students are often not able to take advantage of opportunities such as this unless there is some financial support.  As tuition costs increase, the amount of the scholarship will also need to rise.

DVM students must be in good academic standing to receive the scholarship.
