The large-animal veterinarian scholarship program helps to provide veterinarians in a resource shortage area.
Oklahoma Farm Bureau and the OKFB Foundation for Agriculture have launched a new large-animal veterinarian scholarship in an effort to help create a pipeline of veterinarians who can provide essential services to farmers and ranchers.
One scholarship will be awarded for $15,000 to a student who is studying veterinary medicine at Oklahoma State University with the intent of working as a large-animal veterinarian in Oklahoma.
“Oklahoma Farm Bureau members are all too aware of the shortage of large animal veterinarians in our state who are essential to providing critical services and helping farmers and ranchers care for their livestock,” said OKFB Foundation for Agriculture President David VonTungeln.
The large-animal veterinarian scholarship program focuses on providing reimbursement for students’ tuition and other educational expenses. Students who apply will be required to sign a letter of intent to provide large animal veterinary services or to practice in a veterinary resource shortage area. Also required with the application is biographic and personal statement along with supporting letters from public officials or state agencies.
The deadline for submissions is March 15. The student must be a U.S. citizen, be enrolled at the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine, be eligible for Oklahoma licensure as a veterinarian and intend to practice in a veterinary resource shortage area.
