Application Fee Assistance for Financially Disadvantaged Candidates
The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine is pleased to announce an application processing fee refund program for financially disadvantaged applicants. Applicants who qualify for and receive waivers through the VMCAS Fee Reimbursement Program are invited to apply.
Candidates may apply once they have successfully submitted their VMCAS application and paid the UMN CVM $85/$135 application processing fee (both due by the VMCAS application deadline of September 16, 2024). Applications to this program will be available to complete online starting May 2024, and accepted by October 1, 2024. A copy of the letter/email confirming the candidate’s participation in the VMCAS Fee Refund Program will be required as part of the application materials.
The UMN CVM will review and select a limited number of applicants to receive an $85/$135 refund shortly after the October 1, 2024 deadline. All participants will be notified of their refund status shortly after the review has been completed.
Please contact Violeta Bonneville (vbonnevi@umn.edu), Admissions Manager, for more details.
