Eligible students must show an interest in food animals and/or rural/small town veterinary practice, maintain a 3.0 or higher undergraduate GPA and demonstrate financial need. Preference will be given to a student coming from a rural or agricultural background, recognizing the shortage in rural veterinary practitioners and the vital role they play in maintaining a healthy food supply.
