PLIT Donates $96,000 in Scholarships to Veterinary Schools-In an effort to assist future veterinarians with the overwhelming concern of student debt, the AVMA PLIT has donated a $3,000 scholarship to each of the thirty-two veterinary schools that the program's Trust Representatives visit each year.

The $96,000 has been disbursed equally to thirty-two veterinary schools. The scholarship criteria consisted of five components:
1. Must be a third year veterinary student
2. Must demonstrate financial need
3. The funds must specifically go toward tuition and school fees
4. Must be a U.S. citizen
5. Must be a continuous SCAVMA or SAVMA member

The 2012 PLIT Scholarship Program recipients include: Jennifer Cotey and Rachel Savoy (equal split) from the University of Tennessee.
The PLIT is also pleased to announce that the scholarship program will continue in 2013; $96,000 will again be disbursed equally to thirty-two veterinary schools, and the scholarship criteria will remain the same.
