High school students attend the College of Veterinary Medicine’s precollege studies course prior to the pandemic. New HS scholarship aims to diversify veterinary medicine
March 3, 2021
The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has created a new scholarship to encourage students from historically underrepresented groups to explore veterinary medicine, part of its outreach to motivate more diverse high school students to consider attending CVM or entering the profession.
Veterinary medicine continues to be one of the least diverse professions, an issue the college has committed to tackling. Cultivating inclusion and support for students from historically underrepresented communities early in their education – focusing on the pipeline of potential students that apply to veterinary college – is considered key to diversifying the field.
