TRAVEL FELLOWSHIP GUIDELINES
INTERNATIONAL STOCKMEN’S EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
In an effort to enhance the educational experiences of college students and strengthen the leaders of tomorrow’s livestock and meat industry, the International Stockmen’s Educational Foundation awards travel fellowships each year for the International Livestock Congress to senior level undergraduates and graduate students attending accredited colleges or universities.
The International Livestock Congress USA, managed through a partnership of the ISEF and the National Western Stock Show™, is a unique global event that brings leaders from the livestock and meat industry together to discuss issues of international importance that affect the future of animal agriculture. Students will participate in the event January 12-16, 2013 in Denver, Colorado. Events will include a student career workshop, the International Livestock Congress USA, and tours of area plants, feedlots and ranches.
Fellowships include airfare, ground transportation, hotel and scheduled meals. Scholastic achievement, leadership experiences and professional references are all part of the stringent qualifying requirements for this fellowship.
- Travel fellowship recipients must participate in all activities of the International Livestock Congress and develop a professional white paper on a relevant topic or issue affecting the livestock and/or meat industries. The topic or issue should relate to something presented or discussed at the ILC-USA 2013.
- These papers must be submitted in English to the student’s department head and a copy forwarded to the ISEF office by February 15, 2013. Papers will be evaluated by the selection committee and the most outstanding paper will be selected for possible publication in the event proceedings.
- Recipients will also be required to make a presentation to a breed association or a similar group in their area about their experiences at the International Livestock Congress.
