Now in its eighth year, the Zoetis/The Foundation for the Horse scholarship program, managed through The Foundation for the Horse, rewards graduating veterinary students for their academic excellence, leadership in their school and American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) student chapter, and their long-term goals in equine practice. Applicants must also have the support of AAEP members and their clinical instructors. This year, the program was open to both fourth-year veterinary students and recent graduates from the spring of 2020.

“We are proud to partner again with The Foundation to offer this opportunity benefiting new equine veterinarians,” said Jeannie Jeffery, Zoetis equine business unit head. “We are thankful for yet another chance to showcase Zoetis’ ongoing commitment to horse health and to the veterinary profession, especially during these challenging times.”

The awards will be presented December 9 following part one of the Frank J. Milne State-of-the-Art Lecture during the 2020 AAEP Virtual Convention.

The AAEP Foundation, the forerunner of The Foundation for the Horse, established the Zoetis Scholarship in 2013. The award is made possible through gifts made by AAEP Educational Partner Zoetis.
