Newly created veterinary medicine program celebrates first endowed student scholarship
The newly created Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is celebrating receipt of its first endowed student scholarship fund.
Janet Beachler Day of Lincoln, an alumna of the UNL College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, established the fund with a gift of $52,000 to the University of Nebraska Foundation. Annual income from the fund will be used to provide one or more scholarships to students pursuing a doctor of veterinary medicine degree.
“I am very happy to provide the scholarship and hope it helps those who one day become veterinarians,” Beachler Day said. “It’s important to have goals, and scholarships can definitely help make student’s goals possible.”
The Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine was officially launched in 2006 between UNL and Iowa State University (ISU) and brings together the nation’s two leading livestock producing states together in addressing the region’s increasing need for veterinarians.
