Summer Grants for Veterinary Students
This Foundation initiative enables students at any veterinary school in North America (including Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean) to step outside the traditional constraints of veterinary education and pursue new and creative approaches to critical problems in the humane treatment of animals. Grants of $5,000.00 to each student selected after a competitive evaluation of proposals encourage research into international animal medicine, pet overpopulation, conservation medicine, veterinary ethics, and other nontraditional areas. The Bernice Barbour Foundation, Humane Society of the United States, Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust, and Massachusetts Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals helped fund the initiative.
The Frontiers of Veterinary Medicine Program is a significant contribution to the veterinary curriculum; students learn the excitement of research and research methods while being encouraged to explore scholarly approaches to significant animal welfare issues.
