Each year, TVMF provides scholarships to students at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (TAMU-VMBS) and the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine (TTU-SVM).

Recipients are selected based on academic excellence, leadership, achievements, honors, financial need, and dedication to advancing veterinary medicine and animal health in Texas. All TAMU-VMBS and TTU-SVM veterinary students are eligible to apply.
