Student Veterinarians

Students enrolled in an accredited school or college of veterinary medicine can join the OAEP as Student Members. 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 an accredited veterinary college. Students must submit a copy of their CV/resume along with an essay no more than 1,000 words describing how the scholarship will be used to advance their equine veterinary career goals.

3 scholarships are given out each year at the OAEP’s AGM. Preference is given to current 3rd year veterinary students, however, students from all years are welcome to apply.

Applications are reviewed and the winner is selected by the OAEP Executive Board.  The scholarship will be presented at the OAEP AGM on February 26, 2025.   Interested applicants can forward their CV/resume and essay to equinepractitioners@gmail.com by February 12, 2025.
