Established in 2010 by the Lott family as a tribute to Bryan and his wife Ruth M. Lott who started, and who have given so much to the education of their children and grandchildren. The scholarship is given to an entering fourth-year student who is participating in the Cooperative Program in Veterinary Education with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and who intends to practice in Nebraska following graduation.

In my rural experience growing up, veterinarians often serve as vital social and educational pillars in their communities. I want to continue this honor and legacy in my own veterinary career.
