AVMA/AVMF Scholarship for Veterans

“I truly appreciate this generosity from the American Veterinary Medical Foundation and their support for all of us as we work towards becoming leaders in the veterinary community.  This scholarship certainly alleviates a significant amount of stress while I work towards that goal.”

“This scholarship provides significant relief, reducing the financial pressures of veterinary school and allowing me to stay engaged in community service and leadership while planning responsibly for the future. It supports my exploration of passions like mixed animal practice, pathology, and wildlife medicine, as well as opportunities for continued learning. I am deeply grateful to the AVMA/AVMF and their donors for supporting veterans in making meaningful, positive contributions to veterinary medicine and their communities.”

“Receiving the AVMA/AVMF Scholarship for Veterans will greatly support my goal to become a laboratory animal veterinarian who cares for animals vital to biomedical research while ensuring this research is ethically done. I am truly grateful for this scholarship!”

“I appreciate the AVMF and its donors for supporting veterans such as myself, so that we can continue our dedication of service to others through veterinary medicine.  My wife and I welcomed our first child two weeks before finals and this scholarship greatly alleviates the financial stressors of veterinary school.  It allows me to focus on the things that matter most, such as family and achieving the best veterinary education possible to benefit my future clients.”

“I made many sacrifices to fund my educational pursuits; the most difficult one being my military service. Although I cannot get back the time I missed with family and friends while away for training periods and deployment, this scholarship reaffirms those sacrifices did not go unnoticed.”
