Veterinary Degrees Online

It is the intent of Fairmont State, as an institution of higher learning, to promote and foster the highest degree of scholarship from its students. We actively recruit students who have excellent academic records and recognizes and rewards those who continue to excel. The objective of Fairmont State’s scholarship program is to foster the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body with special talents.

Fairmont State is ultimately responsible for final approval of scholarship programs and related policies and procedures. Further, various offices or committees are responsible for segments of the scholarship programs. The Fairmont State Foundation, Inc., through the auspices of the Fairmont State Foundation’s Scholarship Committee, collaborates with Financial Aid and Scholarships to explore new areas of scholarship development and expansion, and assists those interested in establishing new merit-based scholarships or enhancing currently established scholarship programs for students. New scholarship programs are reviewed for consistency with institutional recruitment and retention goals and the scholarship philosophy statement, and must be reviewed and endorsed by the Faculty Senate Financial Aid Committee and approved by the President.

Fairmont State’s Financial Aid and Scholarships also administers scholarship aid delivery for a wide range of externally-funded and managed merit and need-based scholarships received by Fairmont State students.

Eligibility: Scholarships either for talent or academic merit are very competitive. Because your achievement will always be measured in relation to that of your peers, it is not possible to publish qualifying standards (such as grade point average) prior to the selection process for a given award. The best way to ensure that you will be given full consideration is to submit the Scholarship Application by the February 1 deadline each year and be outstanding! The application is available between November 1 and February 1 on this website & in the Student Service Center, Room 248 Hardway Building.

Some scholarships are based exclusively on academic achievement and/or leadership or other contributions, without reference to financial need. Others are earmarked for those who present strong academic potential and/or leadership or other contributions, and in addition, who have demonstrated financial need.

The professional DVM curriculum of the College of Veterinary Medicine provides its students the most modern and advanced educational opportunity available in veterinary medical education today. The faculties of the College have established a tradition of incorporating innovative instructional programs and methods for the advancement of veterinary medicine in its service to animals and society.
