Columbia State Community College veterinary technology student, Eveanelle “Eve” Lopez, was named a recipient of a Dechra-American Veterinary Medical Foundation scholarship.
Lopez, a resident of Williamson County, was selected for demonstrating excellence in the Veterinary Technician category, according to Dechra. She is one of five students from across the country who has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship in her category.
“Through our ongoing collaboration with AVMF, Dechra is reinforcing its commitment to supporting the next generation of veterinarians and veterinary technicians,” said Dr. Jill Stohs, senior director, Veterinary Professional Services and Medical Affairs, Dechra. “These scholarships not only provide financial relief but also recognize and support students who exemplify excellence and leadership in their respective fields.”
In total, AVMF and Dehra awarded 20 scholarships to veterinary and
veterinary technician students. Out of all 20 scholarships awarded, Lopez was the only recipient to represent a college in Tennessee and the only recipient from a community college.
“Our program is so proud of Eve and her achievements,” said Dr. Julie Anderson, Columbia State veterinary technology program director and assistant professor of veterinarian technology. “Her hard work and dedication set her apart from the rest. We are confident this scholarship will help Eve continue to excel. Congratulations to Eve on this well-deserved recognition!
Lopez, who is in her final year at Columbia State, said this scholarship will help her continue her studies in a field she is passionate about.
“I’m truly honored to have received the scholarship from AVMF/Dechra,” Lopez said. “This opportunity will significantly support my studies and allow me to continue pursuing my passion for veterinary medicine. I’m incredibly grateful for the support from both the AVMF Foundation and Columbia State, and I look forward to using this scholarship to further my education and make a positive impact in the field.”
For nearly 60 years, AVMF, a part of the American Veterinary Medical Association, has worked to advance the science behind the application of veterinary medicine.
Dechra is an international organization specializing in the development, production and promotion of veterinarian pharmaceuticals and other products to promote the health of animals.
As part of Columbia State’s commitment to making higher education achievable to students across southern Middle Tennessee, the college encourages its students to apply for and seek out scholarship opportunities.
