APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 15, 2010

The Graduate Student Support Program (GSSP) is an administrative function of the Office of the Dean, School of Veterinary Medicine, to effectively administer and manage funds designated for the support of professionals, individuals with a veterinary degree, and veterinary students in the School of Veterinary Medicine working to obtain the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master's degree (MS).

Mission Statement

"to seek, secure, and grant stipend support on a competitive basis to the most outstanding individuals seeking advanced scientific degrees in a specific field of bioveterinary and/or biomedical sciences and who are entering, concurrently pursuing, or have successfully completed the professional veterinary curriculum"

Through this mission, the GSSP hopes to contribute substantively to the national need for veterinarians with advanced scientific training, especially in areas currently lacking sufficient veterinary medical participation and/or in which a veterinary education would be particularly appropriate. The ultimate goal of the GSSP is to develop leaders of the future that participate as veterinary academicians and/or clinical scientists in academic veterinary medicine.

Principles

The GSSP intends to ...

1. attract the very best candidates;
2. promote scientific excellence;
3. combine merit, scientific, and need-based support;
4. insure reliable and consistent funding, and
5. develop mentors and academic role-models.
