ACVP-Recognized Pathology Club Scholarship

The ACVP-Recognized Pathology Club Travel Award is intended to encourage and partially support veterinary student attendance at the ACVP Annual Meeting. ACVP provides a reduced Annual Meeting registration pricing for veterinary students and several activities, including the Veterinary Student Breakfast, the Veterinary Student and Residents Forum showcasing veterinary pathology programs, and the Meet the Pathologists session featuring mid-career pathologists from various career paths within the field of veterinary pathology.

To qualify for the award, pathology clubs must:

1. Submit an annual report by the December deadline
2. Report at least one student from the club attending the Veterinary Student Breakfast at the Annual Meeting
3. Complete at least 3 of the 5 activities listed below over the past calendar year: 
   • hold regular club meetings, at least bi-annually
   • conduct at least one anatomic or clinical pathology wet lab
   • host at least one internal or external guest speaker who is a pathologist and/or speaks about pathology
   • report at least one club member attending the ACVP Annual Meeting
   • report at least one club member presenting a scientific poster at the Annual Meeting.

Travel Award qualification is determined based on the club’s Annual Report. Any funds awarded may only be made payable to a pathology club or university account to later be disbursed to cover a portion of the travel of its members to an ACVP Annual Meeting. (Payment details must be included in the Annual Report.)
