U.S. Freshman and Sophomore Veterinary Students: NPIF Internship Applications Due November 10

The AASV Foundation invites freshman and sophomore veterinary students in the United States to apply for the National Pork Industry Foundation (NPIF) Veterinary Internship Program. Now in its seventh year, the NPIF Internship Stipend enables six students to gain experience in the swine industry via a mentoring program that includes a one-month summer internship with a swine practitioner. Recipients are encouraged to attend the AASV 2015 Annual Meeting and the 2015 Allen D. Leman Swine Conference, and must submit a written summary and evaluation of their experiences upon completion of the program. Each of the six selected students receives a stipend of $3300 to defray the cost of participating in the internship. Complete details and the application are available on the AASV Web site at https://www.aasv.org/students/npif.php. Applications are due November 10, 2014. The AASV Student Recruitment Committee coordinates the selection of the grant recipients. Funding for the program is administered by the AASV Foundation.
