Veterinarian Scholarships available

The Clinton County Farm Bureau (CFB) Foundation is again offering Veterinarian Scholarships to students enrolled in their 2^nd, 3^rd, or 4^th year at an accredited college of veterinary medicine, specializing in large animals.  Scholarships can be a maximum of $5,000, and a total of $10,000 is dedicated to this program per year.  If more than 2 students are selected as winners, funds will be divided equally (ie: 4 winners = $2,500/each).

Students who have been accepted and completed at least 1 year of veterinary school (or will be completing their 1^st year before fall of 2023) are eligible to apply for this scholarship.  Applicants must be members or dependents of Clinton CFB members.

Scholarships will be given based on the following priorities:

1. Students must be enrolled in large animal veterinary training
2. Special consideration will be given to students planning to return to Southern Illinois to practice
3. Students will be scored on academic excellence, exemplary dedication to their chosen career path, and financial need

All applications will be reviewed by the Clinton CFB Foundation Scholarship Committee.

A link to the online application will be available on our website at https://clintoncofb.org until the June 30^th deadline, or by contacting the Farm Bureau office at (618) 526-7235 or [email protected].
