First AASV Foundation ABVP Scholarship Awarded to Jessica Seate

February 29, 2024 — 

In 2023, the AASV Foundation Board of Directors established the Swine Health Management Scholarship Program to annually support one AASV member interested in pursuing certification through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP). As part of its mission to support the development and scholarship of students and veterinarians, the goal of this program is to relieve some of the financial burden associated with achieving board certification.

The first recipient of the scholarship, Dr. Jessica Seate, was announced during the AASV and AASV Foundation Luncheon held February 26, 2024, at the AASV's 55th Annual Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.

The scholarship provides reimbursement for Swine Health Management certification-related expenses incurred within the first 2 years following the scholarship award date. The maximum amount of reimbursement will be $10,000. An additional incentive payment of $10,000 will be paid upon successful and timely achievement of ABVP certification in Swine Health Management.
