The Veterinary Scholarship Program enables veterinarians who live in areas without access to training and who lack the necessary funds to complete specified training programs in Laboratory Animal Science.
These programs offer modular, on-line classes combined with short periods of practical training, and provide official certificates of training or an academic degree upon completion. There are four accredited programs in Europe and North America recognized by groups such as FELASA, CALAM, and ECLAM; the ICLAS scholarship may only be applied to one of these programs.
The scholarship award is for 2/3 of the total educational program costs, up to a maximum of €6,000. The student or his/her employer must fund 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.
Applicants must:
· possess a degree in Veterinary Science
· desire to participate in Laboratory Animal Science and Medicine
· live in an area in which training in Laboratory Animal Science and Medicine is not available
· lack the funds necessary for tuition, travel and accommodation to study in one of the accredited programs
· have already been provisionally accepted to one of the specific programs and send proof of provisional acceptance to ICLAS
· be proficient in the language in which the proposed course is presented
· provide two letters of recommendation, one of which must be from the applicant’s employer recommending the applicant and agreeing to allow the applicant the necessary time to complete the coursework, including travel, within the program’s specified time period
· provide a statement explaining how the applicant will make use of the training in his or her country, including sharing the knowledge with others
· agree in writing to complete the training within a specified time period, typically less than 3 years
