VVMAF Scholarship for Vermonters Attending Veterinary SchoolWe are very pleased to announce that the VVMAF has awarded four scholarships this year.
The Vermont Veterinary Medical Association Foundation, Inc. (VVMAF) is a non-profit charitable organization whose main mission is to award scholarships to deserving Vermont veterinary students who plan to return to Vermont to practice. Established in 2011 under the auspices of the Vermont Veterinary Medical Association, the VVMAF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It is supported by donations from veterinarians, the New England Veterinary Medical Association, and from a very generous donation from the John Rhodes Trust. Since 2012, the VVMAF has contributed $81,000 to Vermonters attending veterinary school. With YOUR help, we hope to continue to make meaningful contributions to more future Vermont veterinarians! The application deadline for scholarships from the VVMA Foundation for the 2023/2024 academic year was June 30, 2023.
