Help Fund Educational and Research Opportunities Through VOSEF!
Dear VOS Family,
Greetings from South Carolina. There are only six months to go until we all convene in Lake Tahoe for the 51st annual VOS meeting. Time to start tracking flights and getting your rooms booked in preparation for another great meeting. Don’t delay!
I would like to use this opportunity to promote the Veterinary Orthopedic Society Education Foundation. The mission of VOSEF is: “to enhance the educational opportunities for members of the Veterinary Orthopedic Society by providing academic scholarships, travel grants and/or challenging professional development fellowships.”

In the interval between 2015 and 2022, the VOSEF corpus has increased from $459,606 to $1,118,049. In that same time period, the VOSEF has been instrumental in funding $445,850 towards the Mark Bloomberg Resident Research, the Hohn-Johnson, the Brinker and the Student/Intern awards. The VOS increased the 2024 award for the Bloomberg and Student/Intern Awards from $1,500 to $2,000 and also increased the number of student/intern awards given annually. As the VOSEF corpus grows, we plan to fund even more educational and research opportunities. Under the capable leadership of Katja Lin and Jonathan Suber, the future of the VOSEF looks bright. Your past and ongoing donations are greatly appreciated.
Make your VOS Education Foundation donations here:
