Lora and Russ Talbot ISU Alumni Association Cardinal and Gold College of Veterinary Medicine Scholarship

Established in 2013 by Lora and Russ Talbot for third-year veterinary students, this scholarship is based on demonstrated financial need, graduation from an Iowa high school, and preference given to first-generation college students. It provides two-year scholarships for two students. Each year a new third-year student will be selected, and the scholarship will be automatically renewed for that student’s fourth year with an increased award, provided minimum standards are maintained.

My career goals include practicing in a swine exclusive practice and obtaining my Master of Public Health Degree; with a long term goal of focusing on education and outreach relating to livestock disease prevention.
