A Helping Hand

The Veterinary Scholarship Trust of New England is a 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide financial assistance to New England residents studying veterinary medicine.

Founded in 1958 through the foresight and generosity of the late Dr. Cornelius Thibeault, the fund has helped to support over 500 veterinary students with their educational expenses.

This aid is made possible by the support of individual veterinarians, various state veterinary associations, the New England Veterinary Medical Association, canine and equine groups, memorial gifts, rabies clinics and other giving individuals.

The cost of veterinary education has risen significantly in recent years and students are graduating with considerable debt. The fund gives financial assistance to these students. The importance and the need of the fund is now greater than ever.

The fund distributes the following scholarships and awards yearly:

1. Four- Dr. Cornelius Thibeault Scholarships
2. Dr. James and Pauline DeWitt Scholarship
3. Veterinary Scholarship Trust of New England
4. C. and A. Simons Scholarship
5. E. and S. Windsor Scholarship
6. John 0. Myhre Scholarship
