Point of Interest
Something that interests me about this college is that there are lots
of animals on campus, allowing for lots of hands on training and
activities. It will help with gaining more real experience. Also, they have
womens sports programs, including soccer.
Financial aid & Scholarships
The scholarships can range from $100 to $13,000 per academic year.
Merit is the primary basis for awarding scholarships, students do not
have to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the
California Dream Act Application in order to be considered.

Recommend that students apply for financial aid to maximize

educational funding options
Conclusion
I’ve always been passionate about animals and wanted to
help them. Becoming a veterinarian would be the best option
to do that. It takes lots of years of schooling and I have to earn
three degrees.
