NMC, a global organization for mastitis control and milk quality, supports the development of future udder health, milking management and milk quality specialists. So for the first time, NMC is providing up to four scholarships to full-time graduate students for attending the NMC annual meeting. At least one NMC travel scholarship recipient will be a student enrolled as a graduate student in a university or college outside of the United States and Canada.

Eligible candidates must:

• Be an NMC member. [For more information on student membership ($25 per year), click here.]
• Be a graduate student enrolled full time at a college or university in a dairy, animal or veterinary science, microbiology or related program at the time of application deadline, with an area of interest that includes mastitis control and quality milk production.

The application deadline is July 31, 2007. Applicants will be notified by September 1, 2007, regarding the selection committee's decision. Selection priority will be given to applicants who have not previously attended an NMC Annual Meeting.

Funding for these scholarships comes from the National Mastitis Research Foundation, which is financed through generous contributions from NMC members, friends and supporters.

NMC strongly encourages qualified students to apply for an NMC Student Travel Scholarship. If you have any questions, please contact JoDee Sattler, NMC Communications and Events Manager, at 608-848-6455, ext. 112, or jdsattler@nmconline.org.
