The Morris Animal Foundation has announced a call for 2007 Veterinary Student Scholars applications.
This program gives veterinary students an opportunity
to become involved in veterinary research targeted at enhancing
the health and welfare of companion animals (dogs, cats, horses,
and llama/alpaca) and wildlife or special species.
Veterinary Student Scholar awards are open to all first- through
third-year veterinary students from an accredited college or
school of veterinary medicine in their country, and are not
limited to students at U.S. colleges.
The program will award stipends of $4,000 to students who wish
to participate in clinical or basic veterinary research.
Students
must be in good academic standing and must be paired with a
responsible mentor to be eligible.
Outstanding applicants will be identified by their institution's
Veterinary Student Research program director and forwarded to
MAF for final selection.
Institutions may submit one application
for a companion animal research program and one application for
a wildlife/special species research program.
MAF will be able to provide funds to approximately twenty-five
veterinary students in 2007.
