Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

How to win veterinary scholarships

Now that you’ve got some great veterinary scholarship opportunities, it’s time to get applying! It’s important to put some real effort into each of your applications, as most opportunities receive many applicants. We can help you ace your applications with our guides on how to start a scholarship essay, how to write a winning scholarship essay, and how to respond to “Why do you deserve this scholarship?” prompts. Here are a few more guides worth checking out:

Resources for prospective veterinarians

International Veterinary Students’ Association

The IVSA boasts of being the largest veterinary students’ association in the world, so you know that they can offer some stellar networking opportunities. In addition to conferences, veterinary literature, and connections to scholarship opportunities, they also run international veterinary exchanges, allowing students to see the differences in veterinary practice across countries. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

Student American Veterinary Association

The AVA (American Veterinary Association) has a special branch devoted entirely to helping students succeed in their education. They offer a variety of scholarships, access to journals, events, job opportunities, and financial planning resources, among other things. Check out their benefits page to get a full idea of all they can offer!

Frequently asked questions about veterinary scholarships

Can you go to vet school for free?

Yes! While there are ways to attend vet school for free, you should keep in mind that there are a few strings attached. For example, one can receive full tuition (plus a $2,000 monthly stipend!) while in school by serving in the Army as a veterinarian. Alternatively, if you’ve already graduated and then decide to sign up for the Army, you can partake in a loan repayment program that can pay off up to $50,000 of your student debt (over the course of three years). If you’d rather not serve in the army, you can also take part in the USDA’s Veterinary Medical Loan Repayment Program. For each year (for up to three years) that a student works in an area with a shortage of practitioners, they can receive up to $25,000 towards their student loans. 

Additionally, if you aggressively apply for veterinary scholarships, you may be able to attend vet school for free through your collection of scholarship awards.

Is veterinary school expensive?

Unfortunately, yes. The cost of vet school largely depends on whether your school is public or private. Cost also depends on whether you reside in the state of your university. The estimated total cost of attendance for four years of vet school ranges from $150,000 to $420,000. To get a better understanding of cost, by location, we recommend checking out this helpful “Cost of Education Map” provided by the VIN Foundation.

How long does it take to become a veterinarian?

Most students take eight years of higher education to become a veterinarian; four for undergrad, and four for graduate school. It’s an intensive process that prepares students to care for the lives of animals and make the best choices for their health. Some students end up completing the degree in slightly less or more time, but on average, it requires eight years worth of courses.

Can veterinarians qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness?

Veterinarians who go on to work in the public service or nonprofit sector may qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, meaning the remaining balance of their federal loans would be forgiven after ten years of payment. However, keep in mind that the rules to this program are strict, so if you plan on taking advantage of it, make sure to educate yourself on all of its caveats before taking out loans.

What should I major in in undergrad to go to veterinary school?

Typically, an undergraduate major in the hard sciences, especially one related to biology, is the best bet if you hope to attend veterinary school. The University of Massachusetts writes that students of all majors end up going to veterinary school, but they have to ensure they take the required courses, which typically fall under the categories of “sciences applied to working with animals (e.g., animal sciences, wildlife biology) or in basic sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, zoology)”.
