AVM Financial Aid
The Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program has limited funds to provide some degree of financial assistance to families who are considered financially disadvantaged. Assistance is entirely need-based. The amount of aid available varies from year to year, as the program attempts to provide some funding to all eligible applicants. Typical awards range from 10%–30% of the tuition cost. All admitted applicants are required to pay part of the tuition as the program is unable to cover 100% of the tuition cost. Admission decisions are made independently of financial aid decisions. An application for financial aid has no bearing on the student's admission status.
Applications for financial aid will not be considered until a student is accepted into the Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program. Middle school students are not eligible for financial aid. The Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program suggests that students seek out private funding or sponsors to help cover the cost of tuition. Examples include asking local companies, school programs, and veterinarians for sponsorship or hosting fund raisers.
