Veterinary students, are you planning a swine-based externship experience? The AASV Foundation provides grants of
up to $500 to students who complete an externship of at least 2 weeks in a swine practice or mixed-animal practice with a considerable swine component. This grant opportunity now includes courses offered by the Swine Medicine Education Center (SMEC).
Any AASV student member in veterinary school who fulfills the requirements is eligible to apply. There is a limit of one grant per student. More information can be found at: https://www.aasv.org/foundation/veterinary-students/externship-grants/.
To help locate the perfect opportunity, check out the roster of practices and companies willing to mentor students at https://www.aasv.org/career-services/externships-internships/.

Please contact Alternate Student Delegate Mallory Wilhelm (studentdelegate@aasv.org) to have your internship and externship opportunities included in AASV’s online listing. Make sure students who visit your practice are aware of the opportunity to join AASV and apply for the grant!
