Harold Wetterberg Foundation Scholarship

"Veterinary medicine is my passion. I worked extremely hard to get into the Cornell veterinary medicine program and thanks to this scholarship I feel that I can now make the most of it. Before this, I did not think that it would be possible to travel during my clinical year and now I am able to diversity my learning and networking experiences. Thanks so much again."
