Eligibility

Veterinary students who are interested in participating in this mentored summer research program are encouraged to apply. This program is competitive, and to be eligible for consideration, students must:

  1. Be finishing your first or second year of veterinary school at KSU or another College of Veterinary Medicine in good academic standing
  2. Demonstrate a sincere interest in exploring and learning about research techniques and opportunities
  3. Provide excellent letters of recommendations
  4. No previous research experience is required

International veterinary scholars are eligible and encouraged to apply to the KSU Veterinary Research Scholars Program. We have had many successful international scholars in the past and welcome more in the future! Eligibility requires that a scholar’s schedule aligns approximately with the Kansas State’s VRSP summer schedule. Interested international scholars should contact Dr. Kate KuKanich if they have questions about the application or for more information about the program.
