A statement jointly released by Zoetis and the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) said, “Zoetis is very pleased to be able to financially reward dedicated veterinary students who are already making outstanding contributions to the veterinary profession and to the overall well-being and medical care of animals. Zoetis, as the leading global animal health company in veterinary medicine, is committed to help shape the future of this great profession.”
The 2019 Zoetis Scholarship application process, open to second- and third-year students, is expected to launch in early October 2018.
