The 2014 scholarship recipients are:

"With the increasing costs of a veterinary medical education, scholarships are even more important than ever to all veterinary students, not just those involved in food animal medicine, however, AABP's goal is to further the success of veterinarians working in the beef and dairy industries," Geni Wren, spokesperson for the AABP says.
