Why are donations necessary?
The Student Scholarship Support crowdfunding campaign generates scholarship funds to support LSU Vet Med students and reduce their debt load upon graduating and starting their first jobs. To help address a nationwide veterinary shortage, LSU is significantly expanding its entering class size, and additional funds are needed to support students earning their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees.
