FESO funding has been utilized for fiscal year 2023. Please consider applying for funding in July 2023.
Funds for Educational and Scholarly Opportunities
The University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine Funds for Educational and Scholarly Opportunities (FESO) program was established to support students who would like to travel to conferences, alternative learning opportunities or similar events. Grants are funded through donations to the Larner College of Medicine.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted at least 2 months ahead of the proposed travel. Applications that meet certain criteria will be reviewed and approved on a rolling basis. Others will be brought to the full FESO Committee for review and discussion. The award will not exceed $750 and students will also not be awarded more than $1,500 worth of FESO funding during their time at the Larner College of Medicine.
Please do not apply more than nine months ahead of your travel date and submit your application electronically to caroline.wolf@med.uvm.edu, and contact her with any questions.
International Travel During Your Medical Education
Traveling abroad during your medical education is an exciting and rewarding experience. Our students have the opportunity to travel abroad at various points in the curriculum, especially during the summer between their first and second year or during the Advanced Integration portion of the curriculum. The Larner College of Medicine Scholarly Grant Program can help make these experiences possible.
If you are considering traveling abroad, please review our Medical Student Handbook Policy 920.00 - International Travel for information regarding student travel overseas.
