The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) is pleased to announce that two Penn Vet students were each awarded a $6,000 scholarship from the Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF).

TERF is a non-profit charitable organization that supports and promotes equine education and research by sponsoring scholarships in veterinary medicine, as well as supporting organizations that are educating the public in the proper care of horses. TERF supports "Specialty Opportunity Scholarships" to help promote careers in equine veterinary medicine. These scholarships are awarded to 3rd and 4th year students who intend to pursue such a career. Opportunity scholarships pair recipients with Penn Vet graduates and clinicians as mentors and advisors.

The Penn Vet recipients graduating in spring 2014 are:

  • Lauren Duffee, from Simsbury, Conn., who received her BA in Biology/Biochemistry from the College of the Holy Cross. Duffee is interested in equine medicine and biochemistry research and enjoys horseback riding
