The Pre-Vet Fellowship seeks to provide funding for UM undergraduate students on the pre-veterinary track in pursuing experiential learning opportunities to enrich their academic & professional development. Selected students will be provided with a stipend of up to $7,000 to pursue experiential learning opportunities within the broad veterinary medical field for 5-10 weeks during the summer. Examples of experiential learning considered for funding include: research, fieldwork, practicums, service learning and clinical internships. The stipend can cover food, lodging, transportation, and other incidental expenses. P-VIRF will be administered by the College of Arts & Sciences through its "Beyond the Books" Program.
Examples of experiential learning that are eligible for funding include:
Funding is limited to support expenses related directly to the student’s fellowship such as lodging, transportation, food, travel, and other incidentals. At the end of the experience, students will submit a 3-5 page essay reflecting on their fellowship. Students are advised to document their experience including dates, time spent, types of activities, and who supervised the project. There should be a self-assessment of accomplishments and how they aligned with the goals of the project. What were the lessons learned? If some of the proposed activities did not go as expected that should be reported as well. If appropriate, submit ancillary materials such as videos and photos.
