Studies have shown significant and growing shortages of food-animal veterinarians. Among the causes is the heavy cost of veterinary medical training.The four-year requirement can cost $130,000 to $140,000 on average. Congress established the VMLRP as a way to remedy the shortage.

In return for a three-year of veterinary services in a designated area, NIFA may repay up to $25,000 of student loan debt annually.
