NPIF Swine Internship Applications Due October 19
October 14, 2015 — AASV Staff
Freshman and sophomore veterinary students in the United States are invited to apply for the National Pork Industry Foundation (NPIF) Veterinary Internship Stipend. Applications are due Monday, October 19, 2015. The program, now entering its eighth year, enables six freshman and sophomore veterinary students to gain experience in the swine industry via a mentoring opportunity that includes a one-month summer internship with a swine practitioner. The $20,000 supplied by the NPIF provides each of the six selected students with a stipend of $3300 to defray the cost of participating in the internship. In addition to the internship, the grant recipients are encouraged to attend the AASV Annual Meeting and the Allen D. Leman Swine Conference, and must submit a written summary and evaluation of their experiences upon completion of the program. The AASV Student Recruitment Committee coordinates the selection of the grant recipients. Funding for the program is administered by the AASV Foundation. Complete details and the application are available on the AASV Web site at www.aasv.org/students/npif.php.
