To ensure access for the best and most deserving students, the college frequently competes with other health profesions. A prospective student's decision is often influenced by the debt-to-salary ratio. Practitioners in other areas of the health professions frequently earn more than veterinarians, while veterinarians typically graduate with a higher debt load. Scholarship aid often determines where students of promise and purpose choose to study and what career choices they make after graduation. Attracting and training the next generation of veterinary doctors, researchers, policymakers, and educators requires endowed scholarships ($100,000 minimum gift) and gifts of all sizes to the general scholarship fund.
