Michael Pirrung Award

The Michael Pirrung Award is a scholarship given to third-year Virginia resident students enrolled in veterinary medicine at Virginia Tech. The award is based on a combination of merit and financial need, with recipients demonstrating an identified career goal of mixed animal practice. Special consideration is given to students who are personally contributing at least 25% of the cost of their tuition and living expenses. This scholarship is designed to support aspiring veterinarians who are committed to mixed animal practice and are actively investing in their own education through significant financial contributions.
