University of Georgia

Hello from Athens!
Good afternoon. We’re preparing to begin accepting applicants to our VetCAMP 2018, which is scheduled for June 17-23, 2018. This program is offered to rising high school juniors and seniors and rising college freshmen to evaluate their skills and competitiveness as future veterinarians, provide mentorship and help them experience veterinary medicine as an exciting career path. It’s a great experience and the students have a lot of fun while also learning about the profession.
The application for VetCAMP 2018 will be available on our website (http://vet.uga.edu/academic/vetcamp) beginning December 1. The deadline for all application materials is January 26, 2018. Please share this information with any qualified students who may be interested in veterinary medicine.
The cost of attending the program is $900 and covers lodging, meals, instruction and social activities. Financial assistance is available to students with demonstrated need. For more information regarding scholarship opportunities, please inform your students to contact vetcamp@uga.edu once the application period has opened. They may also reach out to that email address with any general questions that they have regarding the program.
Best,
