What does VSAP mean in STUDENTS

The Veterinary Student Award Program (VSAP) is a US-based competitive scholarship program designed to recognize and reward individuals who demonstrate excellence in veterinary medicine or any veterinary healthcare related field. VSAP awards are given to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance, active participation in the community, and commitment to advancing the profession of veterinary medicine.

To be eligible for a VSAP scholarship, applicants must be enrolled as a full-time student in an accredited college of veterinary medicine at the time of application and must have achieved at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their undergraduate courses.

The scholarship amount awarded by VSAP depends on individual merit and availability of funds. Generally, VSAP awards range between $500 - $4,000 USD with most awards being around $2,000 USD per student.

To apply for a VSAP scholarship, students must submit a completed online application form along with official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended; two letters of recommendation; proof of citizenship or current visa status; and any additional supporting documentation required by the school/program they are attending.
