The award recognizes one student from each of the 5 Canadian Veterinary Colleges for their scholastic achievements in the sum of $1000 each.
Beginning in the early '80s, awards have been presented annually to one graduating student from each of the universities of Guelph, Ontario; Montréal, Québec; and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Proficiency in bovine medicine gains them each $400.00. The selections are made by the educational institutions and representatives of Holstein Canada present the cheques at convocation ceremonies.
In 1999, the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown was added to the program. In 2013, the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has been added to the awards program, with the award sum increasing from $400 to $1000 as well in 2013.
