DVM Educational Scholarships

The College is committed to raising private funds to help alleviate the substantial financial burden that accompanies a veterinary medical education. Our goal is to decrease the amount of new graduates' disposable income which must go toward debt repayment.

The benefits to be derived from this goal include: 1) increasing new graduates' quality of life, 2) allowing graduates to pursue career options, such as positions in academia, research, or large-animal medicine, that might not necessarily result in the greatest income, 3) allowing graduates to accept positions in underserved or rural areas of Missouri, and 4) increasing the possibility that more new graduates are eventually able to buy a practice.

The minimum to establish a student scholarship endowment is $10,000. This fund can be named and the financial commitment can be fulfilled over a number of years in a payment plan which can be tailored to the donors needs.
