Help a young colleague thrive: 10 fully paid Money Mentorship Scholarships available
NYSVMS
NYSVMS is excited to offer 10 fully paid scholarships for Sabadoodle’s 90-Day Money Mentorship Program, running January 13 – April 13, 2025. Eligible NYSVMS members must have graduated from veterinary school within the last 5 years and complete a introductory call with Mike Sabatino, CFP® prior to the enrollment deadline: December 15th. The first cohort of 10 members who completed the program this summer praised how it saved them time and helped them make meaningful progress on their personal financial goals. What makes the 90-Day Money Mentorship different is its focus on turning financial knowledge into confident action through personalized, one-on-one guidance from Mike. By sharing this opportunity with early-career colleagues in your practice or network, you’re helping build a stronger, more resilient veterinary community. Sometimes the smallest gestures – like forwarding an email – can make a meaningful difference in a young colleague’s wellbeing. To learn more, go to: https://sabadoodle.com/.
