Veterinary Dermatology Student Award

​AAVD is pleased to play a role in the effort to recognize excellence in veterinary medicine through an annual award to a senior veterinary student at each veterinary school who excels in Clinical Dermatology. The American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology respectfully honors each student’s individual accomplishments in addition to recognizing the single individual who excels in Clinical Dermatology.

The award, to be presented in the form of a certificate at your annual Senior Awards Banquet, includes:

• $200.00 cash award

• Two-years free membership in the American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology ($50/year value)

• As an AAVD member, free receipt of the AAVD newsletter, Derm Dialogue

• As an AAVD member, reduced registration to the North American Veterinary Dermatology Forum (NAVDF). See www.NAVDF.org for more details.

Selection of the award winner should be determined by the Veterinary Dermatology faculty at the school and should reflect the student’s enthusiasm for and understanding of Veterinary Dermatology. Ceremonial presentation of the award should be made by a representative from the dermatology faculty.

Dermatology faculty who will be selecting the award winner should contact the AAVD Administrative office info@aavd.org to obtain a Recipient Information Sheet. The completed information sheet should be returned at least three weeks prior to the scheduled awards banquet to the AAVD Administrative office so that the award materials may be personalized and returned to the specified college personnel.

NOTE: The monetary value of this award is currently $300.00 (cash award and 2 years complimentary membership).  Since AAVD provides a single award to each college, those Dermatology faculties who wish to give an award to more than one student would need to arrange to pay the AAVD the monetary value of the award to cover the cost of the additional award.

Individuals are neither eligible to receive the award nor initiate collection of benefits after the DVM degree has been conferred. These scholarships are integrally linked to active student status at the time of the award.​
