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 L. Dwight Schwartz Travel Scholarship is awarded annually by the American Association of Avian Pathologists to exceptional veterinary students. Named after Dr. Schwartz, a revered poultry pathologist and educator, the scholarship aims to engage students with the field of poultry medicine by enabling them to attend the AAAP Annual Meeting. This opportunity allows them to meet and interact with leading research scientists, poultry diagnosticians, and clinical poultry veterinarians, enhancing their education and training in poultry medicine. The scholarship intends to cover travel expenses up to $1,500, with the exact number of awardees to be determined annually by the AAAP Board. This award has been made available since 2002 and demonstrates the AAAP's commitment to developing future professionals in the field of poultry medicine.
