The Annual Meeting Travel Grant is offered to encourage and support optometry student and resident participation at the meeting. COVD members donate to this fund to support student attendance at the meeting. The number and amount of the grants given are based on monies available in the fund each year.
The COVD 40th Annual Meeting will be held October 12-16 in Puerto Rico. This year up to thirty-five $200 grants are available for students and residents.
To be eligible to receive a grant, an optometry student must:
- Be a COVD member
- Submit an application and current copy of your CV. Be sure to include any posters or papers you are presenting at the Annual Meeting.
- After your application is received, you will be given the title of an article to summarize.
Grant recipients will be selected based on a review of their CV and article summary.
Deadline for application submission has passed.
Decisions will be made on or before August 27, 2010.
