Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry Funds

I would like to donate to support the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry (FVD). These funds are used for the general benefit of veterinary dentistry as directed by the Foundation Board of Directors for projects including education, research, public outreach campaigns and promotion of Foundation programs like the FVD Make Me Smile Program.

Debra B. Smith Memorial Scholarship for Students

This scholarship is awarded in honor of Debra B. Smith, who served for many years as managing editor of the Journal of Veterinary Dentistry alongside her husband, Dr. Mark Smith. Deb’s cheerful disposition was a gift to all who knew her. She ardently supported the American Veterinary Dental College’s mission to enhance pet dental healthcare. This scholarship is sponsored by former residents of the Center for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery and through donations to the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry. 

The scholarship will cover registration to the annual Veterinary Dental Forum, attendance to the DVM student wet lab, roundtrip coach airfare, hotel accommodations for up to (4) nights at the host hotel, airport transfers and a daily $75.00 food stipend during the Forum (reimbursed with receipts). 

Applicants must be actively enrolled in a veterinary dentistry student chapter, with a demonstrated interest in veterinary dentistry and oral surgery. This donation helps support the future of veterinary dentistry by bringing students to the Forum annually.

Capital Campaign

The goal is to establish a fund of $1 million dollars in an endowed (protected) fund to ensure future financial support for research and education in the field of veterinary dentistry.
