​the Dr. Donna Matthews Jarrell Scholarship Fund​


In recognition of the fearless and pioneering spirit of our founder, Dr. Donna Matthews Jarrell—who has championed Continuous Improvement in Animal Healthcare around the globe—we honor her legacy through an annual scholarship to the National AALAS Conference.

Donna has been instrumental in spreading operational excellence throughout the biomedical research community, and her commitment to inclusion has expanded the VOE-Network’s reach to include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as developmental partners, helping to elevate and advance people of color in the field.

With this scholarship, we aim to inspire and support the next generation of animal care professionals—those who will continue to lead with purpose, integrity, and innovation.

Since the scholarship’s inception in 2023, we are proud to have supported two outstanding recipients:
  • 2023: Peyton Mitchell, Lab Animal Husbandry Professional, Morgan State University
  • 2024: Dr. Terrance Platt, Assistant Director, Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine​​​
