MOPACA
has taken a landmark step in Camelid Veterinarian
Education. Scholarship programs have been set up at
the University Of Missouri, Kansas State University
and Oklahoma State University. Each scholarship is
worth one thousand dollars to be awarded to veterinary
students who show a strong interest in Camelid studies.
The student will be selected by Dr. Dusty Nagy at
the University of Missouri, Dr. David Anderson and
Dr. Meredyth Jones at K-State, and Dr. Melanie Boileau
at Oklahoma State University. Third and fourth year
students will be eligible for these scholarships.
All three of the Universities treat alpacas on a daily
bases and have camelid studies as part of the curriculum.
This is an investment in the future; these are the
vets who will treat our animals in the years to come.
A great project with outstanding dividends for the
alpaca community. These funds are open-ended accounts
and additional contributions may be made in the future
by family and friends. MOPACA will have information
on where to send donations as soon as the scholarships
are set in place.
