Vet Scholarship

The Ride & Tie Association announces our 2024 Jim Steere Memorial Veterinary Student Scholarship.  Dr. Steere was the first Ride & Tie head veterinarian.  To learn a little more about him, consult the article in this issue.  We are proud to offer this scholarship in his memory.

All currently enrolled veterinary students (including international students) are invited to apply by writing an essay appropriate to Ride & Tie. A total of $3000 in scholarships will be awarded. The award may be given to a single essay or split among more than one at the discretion of the scholarship committee.
