Veterinary Education Equity Act

The Veterinary Education Equity Act amends the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act to include 1890 Institutions in a veterinary services grant program. Under this change, the Secretary of Agriculture must give higher priority to grant projects submitted by these historically Black colleges and universities. The bill directly affects 1890 Institutions by increasing their chances of receiving federal funding for veterinary education and research initiatives.
