AABP Foundation Education Grants
Formal advanced training in cattle production medicine can help expand
the skills and knowledge base of the cattle production medicine practitioner.
In the spirit of supporting the development of future bovine practitioners,
the AABP Foundation offers the Education Grants. The Education Grant program will
provide grants of $1000 that will be available for incoming/current senior students
and new graduates (those who have graduated in the previous six months).
These grants will be awarded to students attending an accredited veterinary
college advanced education program or another AABP approved continuing
education endeavor.
Applicants must be a member or student member of the AABP. It can take up to 3 business days to process new membership applications, therefore it is suggested to ensure your membership in AABP is current well in advance of applying for an Education Grant.
The following DO NOT qualify for funding for an AABP Foundation Education Grant:
- Conferences including AABP conferences
- Externships at private practices except previously approved cources (for externships at private practices, apply for an externship grant and not an education grant)
- Internships where participants are paid
For consideration, applications must include:
A completed AABP Education Grant application
form, including a letter of intent outlining the applicant’s
career goals (students) or current job description (recent graduates),
prior experience with food animal production medicine, and goals for
the advanced education program. Education Grant applications must
be made online via the AABP website. Applications can be edited
once submitted up to the deadline date.
- A letter
of recommendation from a faculty member (who is also an AABP member)
of the veterinary school the applicant graduated from or is currently
enrolled in.
Applications for support of educational opportunities commencing between
May 1, 2025 and April 30, 2026 must be received by March 31, 2025 at 5 pm EST. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure letters of reference are submitted through the online application portal by the deadline.
