Stone Scholarship for Student Veterinarian Exploration [I0951]

In honour of Dr. Elizabeth Arnold Stone’s tenure as the Dean of the Ontario Veterinary College, alumni, staff and friends of OVC have joined together to create this scholarship. The award will be presented to the student who submits the best proposal describing a project to which they have been accepted, which will: require them to use their skills and creativity to explore new ideas, concepts and approaches that will broaden their career horizons; foster collaboration both within and beyond the OVC; and expand the role of veterinarians in society. Preference will be given to the student whose proposal describes a plan for how participating in the project will be communicated to other people within at least two demographic groups (e.g., students; the public, researchers working in the field, government officials, etc.). Applicants must also identify two individuals (faculty, staff or administrator) associated with the project (one from the Ontario Veterinary College and one from elsewhere) associated with the project who will mentor them during the work, and provide a letter from them confirming the applicant’s participation in the project. The work may be conducted during the summer or during the academic year. Apply to the Office of the Associate Dean Students & Academic in the winter. The following should be included in the application material: a) A letter describing the proposal, the applicant’s role and how the applicant’s participation in the project will use their skills and creativity to: explore innovative ideas, concepts and approaches that will broaden their career horizons; foster collaborations both within and beyond the OVC; and expand the role of veterinarians in society b) Identify two individuals (faculty, staff or administrator) associated with the project (one from the Ontario Veterinary College and one from elsewhere) who will be mentors during the work.
