Phone calls will be made to those who provide a number on their application. Selected winners must then show their most recent transcripts and GPA from their college or university. This is done for verification purposes.

In the event that a winning applicant cannot present a valid transcript or is found to have falsified their GPA, the VeterinarianEDU.org staff reserves the right to revoke the scholarship award. In these instances, the scholarship will be given to the next qualified applicant.

Each $500 scholarship award will be distributed to the winner through the issuance of a one-time payment check that is made out directly to the post-secondary school the candidate is attending. Every scholarship award will be paid out within three months of the time that the winner was notified of this honor.
