We are almost halfway there!
We are almost halfway to our goal of raising $25,000 for the West Virginia Student Scholarship!
First-year student, Hannah is interested in pursuing mixed animal medicine and is thankful for those who support the West Virginia Student Scholarship fund. This scholarship has helped her focus less on her debt and more on her journey towards becoming a West Virginia Buckeye!

Meet first-year student, Azia!
Students like first-year Azia are thankful for those who support the West Virginia Student Scholarship fund. This fund helped her continue her journey towards becoming a West Virginia Buckeye!

Contract years
Starting in 1953, a contract program existed between the state of West Virginia and the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine that reserved about 4 or 5 seats in each year’s class for West Virginia students and allowed them to pay in-state tuition for their first year of veterinary school. However, contract program ended in 2008.
$250
Contract Students
During the years of the in-state tuition contract, just over 250 West Virginian students were able to receive their veterinary degree from The Ohio State University.
$500
Counties in WV without a vet
The lack of available seats for West Virginia residents wishing to pursue a veterinary medicine degree has led to a lack of veterinarians practicing in West Virginia. There are currently 5 counties in the state without a practicing veterinarian. Give $100 for each county in West Virginia without a practicing veterinarian.
