The American Association of Avian Pathologists (AAAP) aims to advance scientific knowledge to improve poultry health, well-being, and productivity, thereby ensuring a safe and abundant global food supply. Since its inception in 1957, AAAP has served as a platform for those involved in avian disease research and management, facilitating knowledge exchange through conferences, publications, and educational materials, while also supporting the next generation of poultry medicine specialists through scholarships and awards.
The AAAP Foundation Poultry Scholarship program aims to support students in North America pursuing careers in poultry health, well-being, and/or food safety. This initiative is designed for students attending veterinary colleges accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association or accredited undergraduate universities. Scholarships awarded through this program are capped at $1,500, with a maximum of $500 for undergraduate scholarships, to help foster the next generation of professionals in poultry medicine and related fields.
