Bursaries

Veterinary Bursaries The Veterinary Vouchers Charitable Trust Fund targets students who, for one reason or another, have to meet their own tuition fees for Veterinary School. The bursary does not include accommodation etc. Whilst the provision of fees for future Veterinary Surgeons is our priority the Trust also helps those in genuine need to pay for unexpected emergency treatment for their companion animal, this is governed by a separate committee.

It is envisaged that the format would be:

  • Each Selection Committee Member will receive all application forms ( minus identities) for their order of priority, awarded on merit / need, for a shortlist. On receipt of the lists of priority a shortlist will be drawn up for interviews dependent on the amount of monies available for disbursement
  • One Meeting per year for interviews / selections, with the possibility of an extra meeting during that year if a student finds themselves in difficulty during the academic year. This could also take the form of a telephone / postal meeting depending on the severity and urgency of the case
  • Membership of the Trust is an honorary position; therefore, no expenses are paid to active members. Nor are they envisaged for members of the Selection Committee. The Trust does not wish to incur administrative costs consequently increasing the amount of assistance we are able to provide
  • Expenses by the cheapest possible form of transport, and refreshments, dependent on the time incurred in travelling, will be awarded to the candidates
  • The number of bursaries will be dependent on the amount available in any one year, and each bursary will be reviewed on an annual basis, dependent on funding available and changes in circumstances. If for any reason a student does not complete their training School Administrators will be asked to advise the Trust immediately

It is hoped that each Veterinary School should benefit on the Bursary Scheme.
