SAVMA Symposium Travel Grant
The SAVMA Symposium is an excellent professional development resource for
all SAVMA members. In addition, the symposium is an especially valuable opportunity
for SCAVMA Chapter Presidents to interact with students from other schools to get
ideas that can be implemented by local chapters. This year's SAVMA Symposium is
hosted by Iowa State University in Ames, IA on March 17th-19th. For more information
please visit: http://www.savmasymposium2016.com/.
SAVMA knows that financial limitations sometimes prevent students and
Chapter Presidents from being able to take advantage of this great opportunity.
Therefore, the Educational and Professional Development Committee has started a
travel grant program to help offset the cost of attending SAVMA Symposium.
10 awards will be given at $250 each. Eight awards will be open to any SAVMA
member and two awards will be reserved for SCAVMA Presidents or President-elects.
Following Symposium, all winners will be asked to write a brief paragraph about their
experiences at SAVMA Symposium for inclusion in the Vet Gazette.
To apply, email your completed grant application to SAVMA Educational and
Professional Development Committee at savma.epdc@gmail.com, by January 22nd, 2016.
Winners will be notified of selection in early to mid February 2016. Please title your email with “SAVMA Symposium Travel Grant” and whether you are a Student or
President/President-elect.
