Carter's Legacy Vet-Tech Scholarship

This scholarship was created in memory of Carter, a black Labrador Retriever who was just 22 months old when he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and passed away shortly after. In his short life, Carter brought tremendous love and happiness to his family. His illness and sudden passing were devastating, but the care and compassion shown by the Veterinary Technicians at VCA Sawmill Animal Hospital made a lasting impact. Their support helped Carter's family navigate a very difficult time. In honor of Carter and in appreciation for the vital role veterinary technicians play, this scholarship offers financial assistance to those who are pursuing a career in the field—especially those who bring both a deep love for animals and a true compassion for the people who care for them. The scholarship provides $2,500 to three recipients annually. Candidates must be enrolled in a veterinary technology program at Columbus State Community College, Penn Foster, or The Ohio State University, with a minimum of two classes or six credit hours. Strong preference is given to employees of VCA Mill Run, VCA Sawmill, or VCA Westerville East animal hospitals.
