The Kansas State University (K-State) was awarded a $118,956 Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the New Beginning for Tribal Students program (CFDA 10.527). The grant aims to increase recruitment and retention of Native, Indigenous, and Tribal students in the field of veterinary medicine.
Through this grant, K-State will provide various recruitment and support services over a 3-year period. This includes hosting informational sessions, visit days on campus, a no-cost summer camp, and a mentor-mentee program. The university will also waive supplemental application fees for up to 5 prospective students per application cycle. The goal is to encourage more Native, Indigenous, and Tribal students to pursue careers in veterinary medicine, where they can have a positive impact on their communities.
