"I enjoyed the spirit of collaboration at this conference, and I was able to meet some Lorien Harker, 2025 scholarship awardee wonderful people with similar interests. During my time at SAVIR, I received lots of informative feedback and saw studies that sparked ideas in my own field of study, Human Development and Family Studies. I would not have been able to attend if not for being awarded the Brooks-Webb student scholarship. Thank you to those who donated for giving me this opportunity!" - Lorien Harker, Iowa State University

"I am incredibly grateful to have been selected as a recipient of the SAVIR student scholarship. This opportunity has allowed me to deepen my knowledge and showcase meaningful work in the field of injury science. Receiving the scholarship not only supported my academic and professional growth, but also gave me the invaluable opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and expand my network with others who are equally passionate about advancing equity in the field." - Kaitlyn Bowie, University of Michigan School of Public Health

"Receiving the 2025 Brooks Webb Student Scholarship made it possible for me to attend the SAVIR Conference in NYC in April 2025, and I was honored to present my work in the poster presentation session. Still early in my PhD journey, it can be hard to know which organizations are approachable for student work, but this award signaled to me that SAVIR is very welcoming to people in all stages of their careers. There was a diverse array of professionals and academics represented at the conference, and I was able to network quite extensively. Many of the speakers were people whose work I’ve cited in my own studies." - Erin Walton, University of Maryland

"A scholarship like this provides students who are passionate and dedicated to injury and violence prevention research, but may not have financial support, to be able to afford to attend the conference and reap the benefits not only the conference itself, but the amazing SAVIR community.” - Lauren Malthaner, SAVIR Student and Early Career Professional Committee Co-Chair 2021-2024
