Lancaster Kennel Club Awards Scholarships

Two Harcum College students were each awarded a $500.00 scholarship for their hard work, determination and dedication to veterinary technology. The recipients are Jyl H. Snyder from Lancaster, PA and Sarah M. Lukes from Chadds Ford, PA. The veterinary scholarship of $2,000.00 was awarded to Lauren Aldinger who will be graduating from University of Pennsylvania in May 2012. Lauren has been active with the PVMA serving as a Student Representative as well as a Student Trustee.

The Lancaster Kennel Club sponsors dog shows, agility trials, and other dog events throughout the year so we can offer these scholarships. Over the years, the Lancaster Kennel Club has awarded over $90,000.00 to veterinary and vet tech students. Next year the veterinary scholarship will be increased to $3,500.00 for a University of Pennsylvania veterinary student. Two veterinary technician scholarships will be each $1,000.00. The vet tech must be a registered student at one of the following colleges: Wilson College, Harcum College, Manor College, Lehigh Carbon & Northampton Community College, or Johnson College. Applications will be sent to these schools in January, 2012.

Congratulations to all three recipients!
