Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.
College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.
You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, science subjects, engineering or radiology, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.
Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.
All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

Hello Zaryah! I found a few places you can look into for scholarships: the Marguerite Burns Rust Scholarship and the Oxbow Animal Health Undergraduate Scholarships. Doris and Julian Malkiel Scholarship Fund, and you can also check out the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). I hope all goes well in your research!

Hello again, Zaryah !
Your first step in finding opportunities to apply for Scholarships is to choose a college. Once you know what college you will be enrolled in, you can call or visit the Financial Aid Office at that campus to inquire about the specific scholarships that institution offers their students. They will ask you some questions to see which categories of scholarships you qualify for at their institution and possibly other scholarships, too.
For your undergraduate degree, here are some scholarships to look up online and read about. Andy Peek Livestock Scholarship, SBB Research Group STEM Scholarship, Ray Stoesser Memorial Scholarship, The SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program, NAACP Environmental Scholarships, Cards Against Humanity Science Ambassador Scholarship, Scarlett Family Foundation Scholarship, WISE (Women in STEM Excel) Scholarship, RevPart STEM Scholarship, York County Conservation District Scholarship, NDSGC American Indian Scholarship, Dr. Omega Logan Silva Scholarship, HBCU Week x FOSSI STEM Scholarship, and Harry Hampton Fund Scholarship, plus many more listed at the website Scholarships. Some colleges ask about what college you'll attend but other scholarships do not and you can indicate "Not Enrolled". It's best to actually apply when you know what college you'll attend.
Apply for many, many scholarships, all that you qualify for. They are based on different categories such as Major Subject, nationality, race, gender, local city, state and Federal. Yes, it's a lot of work - but well worth it because if you get some scholarships, it can lighten the burden of college costs. Pick two ro three days a week and a time slot to search the internet for every scholarship you can possibly find. Keep a notebook with all the information in it for future reference.
On a light-hearted note, here are some silly but fun scholarships that would be worth applying for. Look up the details for these online: The Zombie Apocalypse Scholarship, The Minecraft Scholarship, The Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship, The Flavor of the Month Scholarship, The Superpower Scholarship, Stuck at Prom Scholarship from Duck® Brand rewards students who create and wear prom outfits made entirely of duct tape, The If you could say one thing to the world, what would it be?" Scholarship, The BrightSprout Crossword Scholarship is open to undergraduate students who create an original 15x15 newspaper style crossword puzzle on the theme of "My Hobby/Interest".
More ? The Left-Handed Scholarship, Chick and Sophie Major Duck Calling Contest, American Association of Candy Technologists John Kitt Memorial Scholarship, The Voris Auten Scholarship, and The No Essay Scholarship. There's more, too. But the Scholarship For Aggressive Scholarship Applicants is one for students that are persistent in applying for lots of scholarships !
As for Veterinary School, you can research those scholarships now, but you can wait because new ones may come about and the ones you see now may be discontinued by the time you are in Vet School, so I would wait until your Senior Year in undergrad to start looking for Vet School scholarships.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best in researching many scholarships ! Be persistent and apply for as many as possible.

When applying for scholarships, start by checking that you meet the eligibility requirements and that the program matches your interests and career goals. Write genuine and thoughtful essays and personal statements, gather strong recommendation letters, and have a well-prepared resume. Keep track of each scholarship’s criteria and deadlines to stay organized. For undergraduate scholarships, use online platforms like Fastweb, Scholly, Chegg Scholarships, Bold.org, Going Merry, Scholarships.com, and International Education Financial Aid to find opportunities that suit you. Also, look into local companies and groups, as many offer scholarships for students in fields like veterinary medicine, zoology, or animal science. You’ve got this, and there are plenty of resources to help you succeed!
