April Carter-Schiavo Memorial Veterinary Technology Scholarship

This scholarship is in memory of April Carter-Schiavo. April was a 2013 graduate of PCC’s Vet Tech program who we lost to breast cancer in 2017. This scholarship is awarded annually and supports a student with financial need in the Veterinary Technology program.

April was a champion for animals--her dogs and cats as well as all of Portland’s furry creatures. After graduating from PCC, she worked at Banfield Pet Hospital and volunteered at the Humane Society when her illness wouldn’t allow her to work full-time. This scholarship was set up by her family--biological and chosen--to keep her passion for the well-being of the furry (and scaly and feathery) ones alive.

It’s brought such joy to those who miss her to support the education of a PCC Vet Tech student for the past six years, When we reach this year’s fundraising goal, we will be able to continue to offer annual scholarships while April's endowment matures to produce future awards in perpetuity.

Thanks to the generosity of Summer Carter and Nathan Schiavo, your gift to the April Carter-Schiavo Memorial Veterinary Technology Endowment can be double-matched. That means, for each $1 you give, it will be matched by $2, tripling your impact! (up to the first $1,000 in gifts)
