Zoetis, a leading global animal health company in veterinary medicine, has donated nearly $6 million toward scholarships during the eight years the program has been in effect.
The announcements were made at the 2017 Student American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) Symposium being hosted by Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
“Veterinary Medical students will play a vital role in caring for animals and ensuring public health,” said Christine Jenkins, DVM, DACVIM, chief veterinary medical officer, U.S. Operations at Zoetis. “Zoetis is committed to the veterinary community and the animals in their care.”
The scholarships recognize veterinary students who are demonstrating academic excellence, a strong commitment to veterinary medicine and leadership.
