Dawn Stewart Memorial Scholarship
Helping support large animal veterinary students committed to including camelids in their future practice.
Livestock breeders throughout the United States are experiencing a shortage of large animal veterinarians. Further, there is a great need for veterinarians who specialize in the care of camelids, specifically alpacas.
The Dawn Stewart Memorial Scholarship is for students currently enrolled in their second, third, or fourth year of an accredited veterinary school and demonstrate an interest in camelid animal medicine. Scholarship funds will only be awarded to support education at U.S. based institutions that offer a camelid (Alpaca) program or classes supporting alpaca animal health.
