The Morris Animal Foundation Veterinary Student Scholar program is a competitive program that provides veterinary students the opportunity to conduct mentored research to advance the health and well-being of dogs, cats, equids and wildlife. ## What is the Veterinary Student Scholar Program? Each year, students prepare grant applications, first for selection from their home institution, and then for review by Morris Animal Foundation.
Each chosen Veterinary Student Scholar is awarded a stipend of up to $5,500 to support their research project. Applicants must be currently enrolled in an accredited veterinary medicine program (this does not need to be AVMA accreditation). Students enrolled in a combined DVM/PhD degree program are not eligible.
