Scholarship Programs

Scholarships are available to veterinary medical students from various sources.  Each year the College of Veterinary Medicine provides approximately $350,000-$450,000 of awards and scholarships to students from endowments given to and managed by the vet school.

For incoming first year students, there are several sources available.  To be eligible for scholarships, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by January 1.
