The National Cattlemen’s Foundation and Fort Dodge Animal Health are proud to announce the 2009 -2010 Fort Dodge Animal Health Legacy Scholarship. Through producer participation, Fort Dodge Animal Health will sponsor five scholarships of $5,000 each.  Three scholarships will be directed to veterinary school students who have designated an emphasis in beef production.  Two scholarships will be directed to undergraduate students enrolled in an animal science program. 

Producer Support

Cattle producers can use their Fort Dodge Animal Health invoices to help support this scholarship program – in turn, helping cattle production and cattle-producing families for the next generation.
