Too often, though, that degree is accompanied by significant student debt. This is true across all fields of study, including veterinary education. The average veterinary student debt was $143,757.82. If you subtract those students who graduated with no debt, the average debt load is even higher \u2014 $167,534.89.

Recently, she began receiving financial assistance from her employer. This is a fairly new development that more and more practices and hospitals are implementing in order to alleviate the serious financial burden of their employees\u2019 student loan debt.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding Resources and Solutions<\/h3>\n<p>The AVMA has tips, including <a href=\"https:\/\/myvetlife.avma.org\/current-student\/your-financial-health\/loan-repayment-strategies\">loan repayment strategies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/about\/savma\/studentfinancialresources\/pages\/default.aspx#refs\">awards\/scholarships<\/a>, and is spearheading the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aavmc.org\/additional-pages\/veterinary-debt-initiative.aspx\">Veterinary Debt Initiative<\/a>. This initiative focuses on creative solutions to help veterinarians develop financially sustainable and rewarding careers.<\/p>\n<p>Companies such as Banfield have come up with various ways to help employees saddled with monthly loan payments. Banfield offers 3 options in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banfield.com\/about-us\/community\/wellness-our-people\/veterinary-student-debt-relief\">Veterinary Student Debt Relief Program<\/a>\u2014a monthly contribution paid by Banfield directly on qualifying student loans, a low-interest refinancing option from a third-party financial institution, and a one-time, $2,500 payment for each qualifying Banfield student program in which the doctor participates prior to graduating.<\/p>\n<p>Veterinary colleges and institutions are taking an educational approach. Many CVMs offer tools and tips for limiting or reducing borrowing. They provide student loan scenario calculators that allow students to manipulate variables such as the size of their loans, length of time until payoff and associated interest rates, and their projected salaries at different points in their career. It shows exactly how much they will owe and what their monthly payments will be.<\/p>\n<p>There are also <a href=\"https:\/\/studentloanhero.com\/featured\/veterinary-student-loan-forgiveness-repayment\/\">federal and state-based<\/a> repayment programs for veterinarians, though there are often limitations. The AVMA\u2019s advocacy work in Washington, D.C., seeks to protect and expand loan forgiveness and repayment programs and to represent the veterinary perspective in discussions about higher education funding at the federal level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earning a college degree, especially an advanced one, is a major accomplishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":19136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":12,"footnotes":""},"categories":[342],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-exclusive","column-digital-exclusive","clinical_topics-news"],"acf":{"hide_sidebar":false,"hide_sidebar_ad":false,"hide_all_ads":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Poll: Are You Drowning in Veterinary Student Debt?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Earning a degree is a major accomplishment.
