The ICLAS Veterinary Scholarship Program announces a call
for applicants, with a due date of August 1, 2023.
For many veterinarians, the time and financial and personal cost of leaving
employment and family to attend an established training program in a distant
area is too big an obstacle to overcome. One option that can minimize these
concerns is a program of modular, on-line classes combined with short periods
of practical training in accredited programs.
There are several such programs in Europe and North America. These programs
are recognized by groups such as FELASA, CALAM, and ECLAM, and provide
official certificates of training, or an academic degree, upon completion.
The scholarship award is for 2/3 the total costs, up to maximum of €7,000. The
student or his/her employer should fund the remaining 1/3 of the costs, paying
for the initial training module, to demonstrate commitment to completing the
program, as well as the ability to meet the academic and language
requirements.
ICLAS thanks the generous sponsors for making this education opportunity a
reality: AAALAC, International, Charles River CHARTER Program, the
Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Science (CALAS), the American
Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) and the American
College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM), ICLAS additionally
provides a portion of the funding.

application form are available
