Support the Next Generation of Research Scholars

Participating in veterinary student research can be a transformative experience, shaping a student’s future career and success in the field. Research training provides hands-on, intensive experience, allowing students to work closely with faculty mentors on impactful projects. These students gain invaluable skills and often present their findings at major events across the state. Support the future of veterinary medicine by giving to the Foundation today and investing in these promising scholars.

Your contributions, namely through Buck-a-Year, have helped send many students to participate in research training programs each summer at both Texas A&M and Texas Tech. Students like Cody Westmoreland, TAMU-CVM Class of 2026 and Kelsey O’Hara, TAMU-CVM Class of 2026, may not otherwise have the opportunity to attain this career-forming training.

“I would like to thank TVMF’s generous donors for their support throughout my summer project,” Cody said. “When the opportunity to get first-hand experience learning all aspects of research arose, I just couldn’t pass it up.”

Will you continue to help veterinary students receive this valuable experience? You will directly support our future veterinarians and researchers in their pursuit of successful and fulfilling careers in the profession we love.
