NMC: The Global Milk Quality Organization supports the development of future udder health, milking management and milk quality specialists. For the 18th consecutive year, NMC is providing up to four travel scholarships to full-time graduate students for attendance at the NMC Annual Meeting. At least two NMC Scholars will be students enrolled as graduate students 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, 2025. Applicants will be notified by August 31, 2025, regarding the selection committee’s decision. Selection priority will be given to applicants who have not previously attended an NMC Annual Meeting. Previous NMC Scholars are eligible to apply, but preference will be given to those who have not been previously selected.

Funding for these scholarships comes from generous contributions from NMC members and supporters.
NMC strongly encourages qualified students to apply for the NMC Scholars Program, even if they have attended a previous NMC Annual Meeting. If you have any questions, please contact JoDee Sattler, NMC Scholars program coordinator, at (414) 587-5839 or jdsattler@nmconline.org.
