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 Elanco Memorial Scholarship, funded through the American Association of Avian Pathologists Foundation, is designed to honor the memory of past Elanco poultry veterinarians and scientists. It supports the education of future generations in the field of poultry medicine by providing financial scholarships. Specifically, it awards $2000 to one undergraduate student and $3000 to a veterinary student with a vested interest in poultry medicine, thereby contributing to the development of professionals knowledgeable in this critical aspect of veterinary science and animal health.
