Level up your career
with our CVT Scholarship

At Veterinary Healthcare Associates, empowerment isn’t just a value, it’s a lived experience. We believe every team member has the potential to grow, lead, and shape the future of veterinary medicine. Our culture is built on lifting one another up, creating pathways for advancement, and cultivating an environment where learning is encouraged and supported at every level.

That is why VHA proudly offers the Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) Scholarship Program, a blend of financial support and cultural opportunity designed for team members ready to expand their skills, earn their credentials, and step boldly into the next chapter of their veterinary career.

We set up the scholarship program because we wanted to give back to our young veterinarians, our young technicians, and our people who are interested in advancing.
