Pet Memorial Scholarship Recipients

2028 DVM Candidate

Annika Miller

"Thank you so much for your generous gift. Your donation is incredibly impactful on the direction of my future, helping me become the best Veterinarian I can be. I hope my contributions to the field can repay your kindness ten-fold.”

"I plan on going into the field of exotics, specifically small pets and wildlife. Eventually, I would like to take advantage of the flexibility a DVM grants me and work abroad, specifically in regions that usually have little access to veterinary medicine."

2027 DVM Candidate

Sonia Rodriguez

"Thank you for your generosity! Finances are something that I stress about in my day to day life and knowing that you have contributed to the cost of my education has given me a slight relief of stress. Your donation is greatly appreciated and your kindness does not go unnoticed.”

"I was fortunate enough to attend undergraduate school on a full ride. I was looking forward to being awarded more scholar ships in vet school but have not been as fortunate. Donations relieve stress, provide financial security and allow me to focus more on my studies."

DVM Class of 2022

Gina Hinton

"After graduation, I would like to become a general practice small animal veterinarian. However, my ultimate goal is to return to academics to help educate and encourage future veterinarians.”

Growing up with a parent in the veterinary field, Gina always had a love for animals. However, it was not until college when she decided to become a veterinarian. She said "I fought for it. It was my passion. It was a very difficult journey, but it was my dream, so I did not give up." She was a teacher for 2 years while working towards her Masters in Microbiology and Cell Science. When asked what she most enjoys about UF CVM she said, "I love having the opportunity to work with experts in so many different fields from all over the world. I feel like we are able to get a wonderful education from these amazing professionals. I love seeing how much they love to teach us students and help us grow to become future doctors."
