A scholarship or fellowship can help a veterinary student fulfill a dream -- or at least provide them with some much-needed financial help in completing their veterinary education.
The average indebtedness of students at the College of Veterinary Medicine continues to rise, mostly because of increased tuition costs - which are the result of many factors, including a reduction in Minnesota state funding. The average indebtedness of students in the class of 2006 was $115,802.
Scholarships
Annual scholarships are provided through the establishment of an endowed scholarship fund. An endowed scholarship fund may be named in recognition of the donor or in honor of persons of the donor's choice for a minimum gift of $25,000. Endowment funds are held in perpetuity by the University of Minnesota Foundation Investment Advisors, a non-profit investment management subsidiary.

Fellowships
Campaign Minnesota gifts of $25,000 or more that are designated to endow graduate fellowships may be eligible for matching through the University of Minnesota's new 21st Century Graduate Fellowship Endowment.
