Contact: Mel Thurlow
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擳he 91传媒 College of Veterinary Medicine recently awarded prestigious Bardsley Scholarships to 12 top-ranking applicants selected to the class of 2023 doctor of veterinary medicine program.
Bardsley Scholars must have demonstrated high academic performance by achieving at least a 3.75 GPA on a four-point scale in their undergraduate studies. Applicants are reviewed by a committee of 91传媒 CVM faculty, who evaluate their extracurricular activities and demonstrated leadership potential.
The scholarships are made possible by a gift from the estate of Dr. Charles and Viola Bardsley, who lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and took a special interest in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Each year, scholarships are awarded to eight to 12 incoming students who meet the requirements. Mississippi residents and students from West Virginia and South Carolina, who receive in-state tuition rates as a result of contract arrangements through their respective state legislatures, qualify for $25,000 scholarships, and those from other states, who pay out-of-state-tuition, qualify for $50,000 scholarships.
To retain their scholarship, each Bardsley Scholar must maintain at least a 3.5 GPA in their studies while in the CVM. In addition to the scholarship monies, they are given preferential scheduling of courses, externships, research experiences and clinical rotations, as well as additional leadership training during their time at 91传媒.
