Zoetis, American Veterinary Medical foundations offer scholarships for veterinary technician students
Veterinary technician students in the U.S. and Puerto Rico are eligible for a new scholarship program recently announced by the Zoetis Foundation and the American Veterinary Medical Foundation.
The Zoetis Foundation Veterinary Technician Scholarship program will provide $1,000 scholarships to up to 270 students. This program is funded by a grant from the Zoetis Foundation and will be managed by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation.
Jeannette Ferran Astorga, executive vice president of corporate affairs, communications and sustainability at Zoetis and president of the Zoetis Foundation, said in a news release that the program recognizes student leadership and aims to promote diversity among future veterinary technicians by helping to offset the significant costs associated with education.
"The new scholarships advance our commitments to veterinary education and support for people who care for animals,” she added.
Applicants must be enrolled full-time in a veterinary technology, veterinary nursing or animal health technology program accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association in the United States or Puerto Rico. Students must also be in good academic standing according to their institution's policies.
Eligible students should apply by Oct. 7, 2022 at VetVance.com. For more information about the scholarship program and criteria, please visit avma.org/scholarships.
Dr. Jose Arce, chair of the American Veterinary Medical Foundation and immediate past president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, said that veterinary technicians are an integral part of veterinary medicine and our animal care teams.
“These scholarships will allow veterinary technology students to cover some of the costs associated with their education," he said.
