“This scholarship is specifically very special to me because it came to me when I needed it the most. With the rising cost of living and the lack of financial support, it has been very difficult to maintain housing and everyday essentials to take care of myself. Being a full-time college student leaves little time to work and earn extra money. With that being said, this scholarship means I can focus on my last semester of college without worrying about where my next meal will come from. It means that I can focus on my dreams not only for myself but for the ones I have lost along the way.”

“To me, this scholarship means I can continue moving forward doing what I love. It gives me the encouragement to keep advancing my knowledge further and getting a better grasp on my understanding of what makes this career so fulfilling!”

“I am so immensely grateful to be one of the recipients of this scholarship, especially as an older student. When I decided to return to school at 28 years old, I was surprised to find how few scholarships allow older applicants. Without assistance from scholarships like this, I may not have been able to finish this degree program without also working full time (or more). Thank you for helping me pursue my passion!”

“Receiving this scholarship has lifted a weight off of my shoulders. Being in school full time makes it difficult to have steady income due to time/schedule restrictions. I am beyond excited that I was chosen for this scholarship so I can continue my education and gain more experience. The industry is growing and continuing to change; more technological advances, more family pets, more opportunities for veterinary professionals. I couldn’t be happier to be apart of present and future success of the veterinary medicine industry.”

“If I were supposed to describe what this scholarship means to me in one word that would be ”opportunity.” An opportunity to keep pursuing my veterinary career to advocate for my four-legged patients while providing the best medical care to them.”

“There is nothing I would rather do than take care of animals. I do whatever it takes to ensure the well-being of animals in my care, from husbandry to grooming to administering medications; I love it all. I will never leave animals in distress and always do a welfare check to be sure they have food, water, bedding and blankets, where appropriate, prior to leaving them alone. In order to enhance my ability to care for animals, I enrolled in the Veterinary Technician program at Mesa Community College (Mesa, AZ). It has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to graduating in May, 2024 and becoming a CVT.”

“I am grateful to be given the opportunity to apply for this scholarship. Not only does this help me get one step closer to paying off my student loans; I found new platforms to learn from where I can better educate myself and others in the field of vet med. Veterinary medicine has opened so many doors for me to learn, see and do new things!”

I am truly honored to receive this award from Zoetis. I want to thank my family, who have supported me thus far. I would not have gotten far without them.”

“Veterinary medicine is what I live and breathe. It’s my life, and I love it. Pursuing my bachelor’s degree in veterinary nursing has been a lot of hard work though. I work 3 jobs while going to school full time. I absolutely cried after finding out I was receiving this scholarship, because it was such a huge financial relief. It means more time dedicated to my studies and getting extra experience in the field. I am so thankful to have been chosen as a recipient.”

“This scholarship means a lot to me, as I do not have the necessary financial help to afford my studies and it requires a lot of sacrifice to keep my dreams alive. Having this scholarship means hope and the opportunity to continue fighting for a place in veterinary medicine. It also means one more step towards contributing to the longed-for goal of creating a better place for education, compassion, and understanding towards animals. I am immensely grateful for what the future holds for me and to Zoetis Foundation for giving me the peace of mind to successfully face the challenges of this profession.”

“A scholarship to me is like a key unlocking doors of opportunities; it’s a recognition of my determination.”

“I am so grateful to be selected for this scholarship because I am supporting myself through college and paying for my own living. Financially I have been struggling tremendously this semester.

“Scholarship to me means an opportunity to achieve academic success without the worry of financial burdens. In this instance, my hope is that scholarships are awarded to students like myself who have exhibited characteristics deserving of recognition but also who have aspirations to create change especially through education.”

“This scholarship means I will continue on my path to contribute to animal and public health comfortably and without constraints due to personal circumstances. I no longer have to financially restrict myself to great lengths while being a student and part-time worker, and can instead focus on being a better nurse for my furry friends.”

“What this scholarship means to me is financial comfort while I complete my degree. I will have the financial support to focus on my career goals. Without the support of this charitable foundation, I would not have had the opportunity to better myself and my cat’s lives and enrich all the lives of animals I come into contact with. Thank you.”

I am truly thankful for the AVMF and Zoetis organizations for their generosity in helping not just me, but other future CVTs/LVTs not have to worry about monitoring expenses as much with how inflation has gone up. We can rest assured that we have less money from our paychecks to have to pay back in the small window we have before interest starts. Thank you all for the amazing work you do!”

“As a student who had to move far away from home to follow her dreams, this scholarship means the world for me. Being able to receive this scholarship due to my academic record, it makes all my effort being valued and appreciate it.”

“Since working towards my license, I had made the tough decision to pursue my schooling full-time over working so that I could absorb the information and learn as best as I can without the distraction of working 30+ hours a week.
