The Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF) is pleased to award $ 14,000 to the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary Medicine to be used to support the Opportunity Scholarship Fund for student scholarships.
In the past, TERF has generously awarded grants for need-based scholarships for students interested in pursuing equine medicine.

The University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary Medicine will use the grant for need-based scholarships for students enrolled in the school. Eric Parente, DVM, Chair of the school’s scholarship committee, remarked in a recent note to TERF, “TERF’s thoughtful generosity allows Penn Vet students to excel inside and outside of the classroom. Because of you, Penn Vet trains the best and brightest veterinary leaders who will serve locally, regionally and globally.”
