SAVIR has opened applications for student scholarships to support individuals presenting abstracts at the 2026 SAVIR Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. The SAVIR Student Scholarship is intended to support students in their academic pursuits related to injury and violence prevention research by providing financial assistance. The scholarship helps students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and a commitment to their community. We are able to offer this scholarship due to the generosity of donors who contribute to the scholarship fund.

Deadline to Apply: December 1, 2025

Award applicants will be notified in January 2026 prior to the early bird registration deadline. Please note that abstract acceptances will also be announced in January; students who submitted abstracts are encouraged to apply. 

Eligibility: Eligible individuals are those who are:

• Currently enrolled in an educational institution
• Study injury and violence prevention
• Presenting author on an oral or poster presentation abstract submission for SAVIR 2026
• Additionally, we will prioritize those with financial need 
  

Benefits: The scholarship will provide selected students with a $500 stipend to be used for conference registration and/or travel. The recipient will also receive a complimentary SAVIR membership if they are not already a SAVIR member. 

Selection Criteria: Two SAVIR members will review each application for academic merit, the quality and relevance of the applicant’s presentation to injury and violence prevention, and demonstrated financial need. Applicants will also be assessed based on their commitment to advancing injury and violence prevention in their community or field of study.
