The Dr. Roger E. Meisner Veterinary Medicine Educational Endowment Fund
The program was established in 1996 by a gift from Dr. Roger Meisner, a veterinarian who practiced in the Wahpeton area for a number of years and then was employed by the federal government, representing the U.S. in many countries. He is now retired and lives in Minnesota. His generous support reflects his concern for financial assistance to those North Dakota students who have graduated from a North Dakota high school, and have been accepted by or are in a college of veterinary medicine in North America.
