In addition to the member benefits, Canadian student veterinarians are also eligible to apply for the Annual Student Travel Scholarship for attending the AAEP Conference or to be used for travel needed for externships.  

Through the Annual Student Travel Scholarship, the OAEP offers Canadian students the opportunity to receive $500 (Canadian) towards their travel required for continuing education. To qualify, students must be enrolled in the Ontario Veterinary College. Students must submit a copy of their CV/resume along with an essay no more than 1,000 words describing why how the scholarship will be used to advance their equine veterinary career goals.
