Since 2013, Merck Animal Health has collaborated with the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) to provide scholarship support to hundreds of veterinary students. This year, the Merck Animal Health Veterinary Student Scholarship Program awarded scholarships to 54 veterinary students. Each of the chosen second-and third-year students pursuing careers in companion animal or large animal medicine will receive a $5,000 scholarship to help fund their education.
“This annual scholarship is especially meaningful to us because of the broad impact it has on veterinary students,” said Scott Bormann, Merck Animal Health‘s Senior Vice President, North America.
“This year, we’re pleased to support 37 companion animal veterinary students and 17 large animal veterinary students as we continue our unwavering commitment to the veterinary profession,” he added.
Academic excellence, financial need, leadership, and area of interest within the profession were used to select award recipients from accredited veterinary schools in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean.
For more than five decades, the American Veterinary Medical Association’s charitable arm, the AVMF, has supported veterinary students.
