Build financially confident associates who stay: 10 fully paid scholarships available
NYSVMS
There are only 10 scholarships for Sabadoodle’s 90-Day Money Mentorship Program, running January 13 – April 13, 2025. (Enrollment deadline: Dec. 15th)Through personalized mentoring, new and early career veterinarians build the financial confidence that helps them become happy, productive members of your team.”I’m now able to painlessly budget, am no longer scared of my student loans, and know how and where to invest extra income,” shares a 27-year-old associate and program graduate. When early-career associates feel financially secure, competing job offers dangling signing bonuses become less enticing. Financial confidence helps your doctors see their paycheck as more than a means for paying student loans – it becomes their bridge to achieving meaningful goals. Eligible associates must be NYSVMS members who graduated within the last 5 years and complete an introductory call with Mike Sabatino, CFP. Learn more at https://sabadoodle.com/.
