Veterinary Technology Scholarships Are Essential
URGENT NEED FOR SUPPORT
Foster youth face many barriers that prevent access to higher education and skilled career training.
Nearly 20,000 youth age out of foster care each year in the U.S. without a permanent family or long-term support.
GROWING DEMAND IN VET CARE
66% of households own a pet, and the need for trained professionals in the field is rising.
Careers in veterinary technology are projected to grow more than most trade fields in the next 10 years.
STABLE CAREER INVESTMENT
Less than 50% of former foster youth are employed by age 24, compared to 75% of their peers.
In 2024, 96% of veterinary program graduates reporting securing full-time jobs after graduation.
LIFE-CHANGING SCHOLAR SUCCESS
Foster Love scholarships offer holistic support that provides resources, mentorship, and career guidance.
Our program has a 90% completion rate with graduates going on to work in animal care.
Breaking Barriers to Opportunity
Foster youth face extraordinary challenges when pursuing higher education: unstable housing, financial insecurity, and lack of mentorship often make continuing education impossible.
Foster Love’s Veterinary Technology Scholarships removes these barriers and prepares them for careers that offer stability, purpose, and growth.
