August 25, 2010 — AASV Staff
Now in its third year, the National Pork Industry Foundation (NPIF) Veterinary Internship Program is providing funding for six freshman and sophomore veterinary students in the United States to gain experience in the swine industry via a mentoring program that includes a one-month summer internship with a swine practitioner. Grant recipients are also encouraged to attend the AASV 2011 Annual Meeting and the 2011 Leman 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 http://www.aasv.org/students/npif.php. Applications are due October 29, 2010. The AASV Student Recruitment Committee coordinates the selection of the grant recipients. Funding for the program is administered by the AASV Foundation.
