UF VETS First Responder Animal Technical Rescue Education Fund

The First Responder ATR Training Scholarship Fund provides the opportunity for first responders in Florida to receive operations level training to support animal technical rescue emergencies (including livestock trapped below grade, in overturned trailers, and other hazardous environments) in their communities. With the support of donations, scholarships will be offered as they are available to qualified individuals selected by a panel of UF Veterinary Emergency Treatment Service team members. All gift sizes are greatly appreciated and help support first responders. Every $600 in donated funds supports one scholarship.
