AASV Foundation Student Debt Relief

The AASV Foundation offers two opportunities for AASV members to apply for relief of student debt. The award recipients are announced during the AASV Annual Meeting.

Dr. Conrad and Judy Schmidt Family Student Debt Relief Scholarships
Two $7500 scholarships awarded annually to AASV members 2 to 5 years post-graduation from veterinary school who are engaged in private veterinary practice (50% or more devoted to swine), providing on-farm service directly to independent pork producers.

AASVF-Zoetis Foundation Student Debt Relief Grants
Ten $7500 grants will be awarded in 2025 to AASV members 2 to 10 years post-graduation from veterinary school whose career focus has been 50% or more devoted to swine.

Each opportunity has additional, differing requirements. See the links above for detailed application criteria.
