The AZVT Laurie Page-Peck Scholarship is open to any student currently enrolled in an accredited veterinary or medical technology program, as well as students that have graduated within one year of the abstract deadline. The scholarship has been established to allow a deserving veterinary or medical technology student with an active interest in zoo veterinary medicine to attend the annual conference of the Association of Zoo Veterinary Technicians. Students submitting papers for the scholarship must be enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a veterinary technology or medical technician program. If the student is enrolled in a veterinary technology program within the U.S., the program must be accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Proof of enrollment status may be required upon request. Students participating in internships associated with a zoo or in other veterinary technology internships are encouraged to compete as well. The paper must be written by the student(s) submitting it. More than one student may co-author a paper. However, the allotted honorarium must be shared between students. The topic selected by the student(s) must pertain to zoo veterinary technology. The topic should be medically oriented and not limited to husbandry. Broad categories may include: a case report, retrospective study, clinical pathology of zoo animals or wildlife, hospital procedures or diagnostics, innovations and updates in veterinary medicine, or other prominent material as determined by the Scholarship Committee. Students must submit topic proposals, in abstract form, to the scholarship committee for approval. A curriculum vitae (CV) is now preferred over the Bio Information Form. The CV should include relevant financial relationships and any publications that may help showcase your qualifications as a speaker. The abstract is due on March 4th. The first draft is due on April 8th. The final draft is due on May 13th. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
