Who Can Apply:
- The veterinary technician field is a unique example of a female-dominated field, as 78.1% of veterinary technicians are women.
- Veterinary technicians earn an average wage of $37,434 per year, higher than the average $29,930 that veterinary assistants earn. Becoming a veterinary technician requires a degree, which prepares technicians to go on to become veterinarians.
- This scholarship is funded by the Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society. Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society is Oregon’s first no-kill animal shelter and has provided medical care, safe shelter, and plenty of TLC to the abandoned, neglected, homeless, and abused dogs and cats of Yamhill County since 1975.
- This scholarship allows Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society to give back to their community, and support students in Oregon who are interested in pursuing veterinary technician degrees.
- Any high school senior in Oregon who has a 3.0 GPA or higher, non-profit or volunteering experience, and will be enrolling in a two-year veterinary technician program may apply for this scholarship.
