Pickard and Simmons Brothers Scholarships at AVC

Two scholarships will be awarded annually to third-year students in veterinary medicine who intend to participate in an external rotation. Selection of these awards will be based primarily on students' demonstrated interest in participating in an external rotation. These awards, established through the estate of Evelyn Matheson, honour family members and are intended to support students at the Atlantic Veterinary College. Evelyn Patricia 'Patty' Matheson lived a long and productive life, passing away at the age of 98. Based on her belief in the value of post-secondary education, Evelyn Matheson left a substantial bequest to the University of Prince Edward Island, including funding for four scholarships and a major residual and undesignated gift.
