AAV Awards Five Global Scholarships, Webinars to Advance Student Avian Care

The Association of Avian Veterinarians Student Committee awarded monetary externship scholarships to five veterinary students from around the globe in its March 2026 Student News bulletin, a concise roundup targeting student members and early-career clinicians working toward careers in avian medicine.

The Student Externship Scholarships represent one of the AAV Student Committee's concrete mechanisms for moving vet students closer to hands-on avian clinical experience. Five recipients were selected from an international pool of applicants, though the AAV has not yet publicly released the winners' names, individual award amounts, or the externship host institutions where the funding will be applied. Those details, once confirmed by the AAV Student Committee, will give a fuller picture of where the next generation of avian practitioners is heading.

The March 2026 bulletin extends beyond the scholarship announcement. The AAV described it as a concise roundup built around a series of items aimed at students and early-career clinicians, which signals the inclusion of additional programming, likely webinars or educational events relevant to avian veterinary practice. Specific topics, presenters, and registration information for those offerings have not yet been released in full.

For vet students with a serious interest in parrot and avian medicine, the AAV Student Committee's bulletin is one of the more practical resources in the field. It connects students directly to scholarship funding, continuing education, and a professional network that spans international veterinary programs. If you are currently enrolled in a veterinary program and avian medicine is on your radar, tracking the AAV Student Committee's scholarship rounds is worth building into your calendar.

The AAV can be reached directly through its official channels for details on future scholarship application windows and access to the full March 2026 bulletin.
