“I am incredibly grateful for this veterans’ scholarship from the AVMA/AVMF. This support honors my military service while helping me transition into veterinary medicine, allowing me to pursue a career focused on affordable, compassionate care for animals and the people who love them. It reinforces my commitment to service and reminds me that the values I learned in uniform continue to guide the work I do today.”
