For the third consecutive year, veterinary students who pre-register and attend the AASV annual meeting will receive a $100 stipend to assist with their travel expenses. The AASV Foundation and Newport Laboratories have agreed to co-sponsor the stipends for the upcoming meeting in Orlando, scheduled for March 3-6. Since the inception of the stipend program, student attendance at the annual meeting has increased dramatically.
To receive the stipend, the student must be a current (2006-7) student member of the AASV and must pre-register for the meeting no later than Friday, February 9, 2007. Students may register and pay dues now here.
The stipend applies only to students in veterinary school who have not yet received their DVM (or equivalent) degree. Veterinarians who are in graduate school do not qualify.
As in the past, the stipend check will be made out to the individual student and must be picked up by the student in person at the registration desk.
