Veterinary Students: Apply for $1,000 Swine Externship Grant

In an effort to provide veterinary students with practical, hands-on experience in swine practice, the AASV Foundation offers expense-reimbursement grants of up to $1,000 to students who complete a qualifying 2-week or longer swine externship, including courses offered by the Swine Medicine Education Center at Iowa State University.

Any AASV student member in veterinary school who fulfills the requirements is eligible to apply. There is a limit of one grant per student. The hosting practice (swine or mixed animal with a considerable swine component) must contain at least one AASV member.
