This scholarship shall begin, each year, with a free registration to the Annual Conference of the Association of Avian Veterinarians. The visitor will meet veterinarians from all over the world and shall travel to the first host practice immediately following the conference.
Registration includes lectures, practical labs and social functions.
This shall be the sole financial support offered by the Association. The AAV will try to arrange it so that, after each visit, the next practice was within driving distance. The host will arrange the least expensive method of travel for the visitor to get to the next practice. The visiting veterinarian must speak and understand English, as it would be very time consuming and disruptive to the host practice for the host veterinarian to try to translate everything in the course of their daily routine. All applicants shall be notified, in writing, of the status of their application no less than six months prior to the upcoming conference, which is held in late August or early September of each year.
