Class of 1984 Scholarship

Placeholder image

The scholarship is given in memory of members of the DVM class of 1984 who have passed away. It is awarded to a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year DVM student who has scholastic ability, family responsibilities, social adeptness and a personality that gives promise of relating well to clients and has financial need.


 

This scholarship was originally established by Dr. Thomas Montgomery’s wife, Lynn, after he passed away in 1989. He was just 35 years old. When Tom and Lynn’s daughter, Emily, passed away in 2012 leaving two small children, Lynn was no longer able to continue the support of the scholarship.

At that point, Tom’s veterinary classmates in the WSU Class of 1984 decided to continue the legacy in not only Tom’s memory, but in memory of all their classmates who have passed away:

  • Michael L. Hauser, DVM
  • John D. Inskeep, DVM
  • Calvin A. Richards, DVM
  • Glen C. Sanders, DVM
  • Valerie A. Stewart, DVM
  • Sharon Cochran Jensen, DVM

“Knowing that I will be graduating with the debt that is associated with graduate school can be overwhelming at times. This contribution will be a great help in relieving some of the stress on me and my family that the financial aspect of school can bring. This will allow me to worry less about the finances and focus that much more on my schooling.” – Clancy Mortensen (’20 DVM)
