Dominic & Barbara Court Family Scholarship Fund

The Dominic & Barbara Court Family Scholarship Fund, administered by the Kalamazoo Community Foundation, supports graduate students pursuing a career in animal health. To qualify, applicants must be enrolled in a Veterinary Medicine graduate program at an accredited, not-for-profit college or university. Additionally, candidates must either be current residents of Kalamazoo County or have graduated from a high school located within Kalamazoo County.

The scholarship provides an award of $2,500+ to help cover educational expenses. Recipients can apply these funds toward any component of their institution's official cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, housing, transportation, and books. The foundation sends the payment directly to the student's academic institution to be split between the semesters. To be considered, students must complete the provider's online application, which centralizes multiple aid opportunities. While the program does not explicitly require a FAFSA submission, applicants should prepare to submit their financial and academic details through the foundation's portal by the March 1 deadline.
