Simmons Educational Fund

The SEF is a non-profit organization founded by Simmons & Associates. Their mission is to improve the veterinary profession through business education.

SEF Business Aptitude Awards are given at each participating veterinary school to a 3rd year VBMA veterinary student who shows excellence in business through their response to a veterinary business case or writing prompt. In addition to receiving a $3000 scholarship, these students are then eligible to compete for one $15,000 National prize and trip to the Western Veterinary Conference.
