Veterinary Scholarship Trust of New England

• Established in 1958, the Veterinary Scholarship Trust of New England is a nonprofit agency that awards financial assistance to New England residents who enter veterinarian school. A student is considered a New England resident if she earned a high school diploma in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont. Students are also eligible if they lived in a New England state for five continuous years prior to being admitted to veterinary school. A student may attend any veterinary school located in the United States. The amount of the awards vary depending on the availability of funds. The grant is made possible by the New England Veterinary Medical Association and other state veterinary affiliations.
