Roger S. Boone, DVM (Class of 1962) Scholarship Recipients
We are pleased to announce that Brooke Corson and Hannah Schiesl, both fourth-year veterinary students (VM4), have been selected as recipients of the Roger S. Boone, DVM Scholarship.

Through Dr. Boone's generous $10,000 bequest, each student will receive a $5,000 scholarship. The awards will be applied to their financial aid accounts in the coming days as they return to campus for the upcoming academic year.
The Veterinary Medical Alumni Association is deeply grateful for Dr. Boone's commitment to supporting future veterinarians. His legacy of service, compassion, and dedication to the profession continues to make a meaningful difference for students pursuing their veterinary degrees at Iowa State University.
We hope Dr. Boone's example inspires others to pursue their passions, support the next generation, and create a lasting impact through thoughtful philanthropy.
​We are honored to share the heartfelt messages of gratitude received from Brooke and Hannah, whose lives and educational journeys have been positively impacted by Dr. Boone's generosity.

My name is Hannah Schiesl and I am a 4th year veterinary student at Iowa State. Thank you for your generosity and selecting me as a recipient of the Dr. Roger S Boone Scholarship. I am truly grateful for your support. A little about me. I am from Dubuque, IA and have known I wanted to be vet since preschool. Although I didn't grow up on a farm, I have always been drawn to animal agriculture. Before vet school, I completed 3 years of undergraduate studies at Iowa State where I sought opportunities to gain experience in livestock medicine.
I am currently on the Food Animal track and hope to practice mixed animal with an emphasis on cattle and equine medicine after graduation. While I am still figuring out where this career will take me, I look forward to serving producers and owners wherever I end up and making a positive impact on their communities.
This scholarship helps ease the financial burden of vet school and will allow me to travel to externships where I can gain valuable hands-on experience. Thank you for investing in my education and future career. Your generosity truly makes a difference and I am honored to be a recipient of this scholarship.
Sincerely,
Hannah Schiesl,
ISU CVM Class of 2027.

My name is Molly Andreasen, and I am a fourth-year veterinary student who recently completed an externship at the Nebraska Humane Society (NHS). Having a strong passion for shelter medicine, returning to Nebraska to learn from the NHS team was an easy decision. During my time there, I performed over 100 surgeries and gained hands-on experience with physical exams and clinical skills that will shape my future career. I gained a comprehensive view of shelter operations by exploring departments such as behavior, assessment, and animal welfare, and even participating in a ride-along with an animal control officer. This experience deeply reinforced my dedication to the field of shelter medicine.

My name is Emma, and I am a fourth-year student interested in practicing emergency medicine. I was able to spend two weeks at DoveLewis in Portland and see over 100 emergency cases. I am grateful to the Vet Med Alumni Association for helping fund trips like this that allow students to gain new experiences and become better practitioners. Not to mention, we’re looking good as we do it in the sweatshirts provided by the VMAA. Thank you so much for your support!

Our May 2026 newsletter announced the bequest of $10,000 was given to VMAA to distribute as two $5000 Roger S. Boone, ‘1962 scholarships -May 2026. Roger S. Boone, DVM – Class of 1962 In memory 1935-2025. Here is a thank you note, sent by one of the two committee selected $5000 scholarship recipients, Brooke Corson, to the family of Dr. Roger S. Boone, ’62.

To the Family of Dr. Roger S. Boone,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to you for selecting me as the recipient of the Dr. Roger S. Boone Scholarship. Receiving this $5,000 award is both a tremendous financial relief and a profound honor as I pursue my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
Veterinary school is a demanding journey—both academically and financially. This generous scholarship directly alleviates a significant portion of my tuition burden, allowing me to focus more fully on my clinical training, coursework, and hands-on patient care without the constant stress of financial strain.
Knowing that this award carries the name and legacy of Dr. Roger S. Boone makes it especially meaningful. It is inspiring to be supported by a family that values the advancement of veterinary medicine and the education of future veterinarians. I promise to honor his memory by approaching my studies with dedication, compassion, and a commitment to providing the highest standard of care to my future animal patients and their human families.
Thank you once again for your generosity, vision, and belief in students like me. Your support is making a tangible difference in my education and my future career.
With sincere appreciation and warmest regards,

Brooke Corson

Cash Card from the VMAA.
Thank you so much for this gift! It was used to supply coffee for studying during the exam-heavy month of April. I am a current VM2 at ISU looking to track either Mixed Animal practice or Food Animal in my final years of vet school. After graduation, I hope to work as a general practitioner in rural Iowa or the Midwest. I am apart of SAVMA, AABP, and SFT, gaining good knowledge and some hands-on experience through palpation wet labs, speakers, and sitting in on rounds . Throughout my career, I have worked as a technician’s assistant at a small animal general practice, and as a technician in a large animal general practice. My interests include bovine and equine reproduction, as well as large animal surgery. When I am not in class or studying at the local Starbucks, I like to spend my time outdoors hiking or running, line dancing with friends, or reading a good book. Thank you so much for the gift card and supporting my career!

Thank you for all your support for us students! $75 travel expense reimbursement award.
