Why You Should Donate
Pursuing a veterinary career is rewarding but comes with significant financial challenges. The national average debt for veterinary students upon graduation is over $167K. This financial burden can hinder their ability to start their careers and serve their communities effectively. Your donations will provide scholarships to help lessen this burden.
From past scholarship recipients:
"I cannot express how much this means to me and what a difference it will make in my life."
"Thank you for your generosity. This scholarship makes all the difference in lessening the financial burden and reaffirms that hard work really does pay off!"
"Thank you so much for the support! I look forward to using this to fund the rest of my education to return to Maryland to join the amazing veterinarians there!"
"I cannot express the gratitude I feel to have been selected to receive this scholarship. One day, I hope to make an impact on the profession and improve every animal life that I can."
