The program derives its strength and diversity through dedication of outstanding mentors and availability of various funding sources, including a T-35 and an R-25 award from the National Institutes of Health and a grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Inc., for the BI Veterinary Scholars. In addition, we are proud to have several endowed fellowships, including the Witter Fellowship, Steven Arnoczky Fellowship, and the Feline Health and Well-being Center Fellowship, each supporting one or more veterinary scholars every year, along with additional support from the Dean's Office at CVM as well as the Graduate School at MSU.
