It offers a deserving student the financial assistance necessary to follow their passion for veterinary medicine and achieve their career goals,” Ost said.

Dr. Entzminger’s clinic serves cats, dogs, and pocket pets, with a focus on providing compassionate and stress-free care. The scholarship is an extension of her dedication to fostering opportunities for young people in the community.
