Funding for Nottingham Vet Students
Aspiring vets studying at The University of Nottingham will be helped to fulfil their ambitions thanks to a £30,000 donation from Hill’s Pet Nutrition.

Undergraduates at the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science – the UK’s newest vet school – will be able to get financial help over the next three years from a fund set up by Hill’s. The donation will be doubled over that period through the UK Higher Education Match Funding Scheme, making a further £30,000 available.

The Hill’s Funding will establish a scheme to provide a bursary for students undertaking Clinical EMS during years 4 and 5 of the course.

Adrian Pratt, Vet Affairs Manager for Hill’s UK, commented: “We’ve known for a while that the debt burden on vet students is growing, so when the Vet School approached us with the idea we leapt at the chance to help out. We have a long history of supporting veterinary education and we are proud to be able to help the next generation of vets achieve their ambitions.”
