MUG GIVEAWAY: Random drawing of 5 donors who make a donation in ANY amount
Today’s focus is on the Avian Biosciences Travel Scholarship (ABTS). The ABTS covers the cost for Masters of Science (MS) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program students (who do not hold a veterinary degree) to attend the annual AAAP meeting and present their research. The purpose of the award is to familiarize students with the many aspects of poultry medicine and to facilitate their interaction with research scientists, poultry diagnosticians, and clinical poultry veterinarians to further their education and training. These scholarships are intended to encourage MS and PhD students to continue a career track in poultry health.
To donate to the Avian Biosciences Travel Scholarship, you can donate online here. Don’t forget to make your donation of $100 or more to be entered into the drawing to win a free 2023 AAAP Membership!
We are halfway through the AAAP Foundation’s Giving Eggstravaganza! Does your company have a matching donation program? If so, don’t forget to match your donation to the AAAP Foundation this week! If you haven’t donated yet, you can donate online here.
Today we are highlighting the AAAP Excellence in Mentorship Award. This award was created in 2019 to recognize the generosity and dedication of mentors. The award is given to a member of the AAAP who has demonstrated a passion for mentoring students and/or fellow colleagues. We need to raise a total of $40,000 to fund this award in perpetuity. We have received donations thus far of $19,500, leaving us with a balance of $20,500 to meet the minimal funding requirements for this award. We would love to get closer to fully funding the Excellence in Mentorship Award this week!
The AAAP Foundation’s Giving Eggstravaganza is here! We invite all AAAP members to make a donation, in any amount, to the Foundation by going online here: https://aaap.memberclicks.net/aaap-foundation-giving-eggstravaganza. You can designate your gift to any of the AAAP Foundation’s named scholarships, the Kenneth Eskelund/AAAP Foundation Preceptorship Scholarship, the Avian Biosciences Travel Scholarship, or the AAAP Excellence in Mentorship Award. All AAAP members who donate $100.00 or more during the Giving Eggstravaganza will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE AAAP membership in 2023! In addition, if we have 75 or more donors this week, a second FREE AAAP membership will be raffled off and ALL donors will be included!
