This award is in memory of Dr. Richard Zbarsky, OVC 1976; a beloved father and veterinarian who owned Etobicoke Veterinary Hospital for over 30 years. He was passionate about small animal medicine and believed in mentoring others. Dr. Zbarsky dedicated his time to the patients who needed him most. He endeavored to provide the highest quality of care to all, including those with little financial resources. We offer this award in his honour so that others may continue his efforts to help those in need. Apply by October 7 to Student Financial Services with a completed Financial Need Assessment Form, and send a letter of no more than 500 words, detailing the quality of the volunteer experience and its impact on companion animal welfare, with a letter of support from the organization during the Fall call for applications from the OVC Dean’s office. Selection will be based on the quality of the letter of support from the organization where the applicant has volunteered. In the event of a tie, the award will be given to the student with greatest financial need.

Students registered in Phases 1, 2, or 3 of the DVM program with demonstrated financial need, and whose volunteer work relates to the care or well-being of companion animals.
