ACAW Scholarship Available to Members Seeking Welfare Certification

January 31, 2018 — 

The AASV Foundation Board of Directors continues to accept applications from AASV members seeking board certification in the American College of Animal Welfare (ACAW). The applicant must have a DVM or VMD degree and at least 5 years of continuous membership in the AASV.

To apply, the applicant must submit a curriculum vitae, an ACAW-approved program plan, and three (3) letters of reference (one of which must come from the applicant's mentor). There is no submission "due date," but there is a limit to the amount of funding available each year. A selection committee will review applications as they are received.

The scholarship will provide annual reimbursements for actual expenses related to the ACAW program, including travel, course fees, and textbooks, with a maximum reimbursement amount of $20,000. Reimbursement will not cover lost income. An incentive payment of $10,000 will be issued upon successful and timely completion of the ACAW Board Certification.
