Why Give to the VVMAF?
The educational debt of 2016 veterinary school graduates was $167,535, and 20% of them had debts over $200,000! It is difficult for graduates seeking their first job to carry such a large financial burden on top of all their other living expenses. We want to lessen their debt load and help Vermonters reach their goal of becoming veterinarians. This is a great opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of future Vermont veterinarians and we hope you'll be a part of it! Your contribution is tax-deductible.
Here are some present VVMA members who received past Foundation awards as veterinary students!

Megan Foy - Danville Veterinary Hospital
Dr. Brit Shorter - Burlington Emergency & Veterinary Specialists
