RVC student wins AAEP scholarship
Molly
Molly Muedeking was invited to America to recieve her award.

Scholarships awarded to exceptional students and advocates of equine welfare

An undergraduate from the Royal Veterinary College was one of eight veterinary students invited to a convention in America and awarded scholarships, having been considered exceptional students and advocates of equine welfare.

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation awarded a $2,500 scholarship to final year BVetMed student Molly Muedeking. Molly was the only British or European student to be honoured. The other recipients came from Canada and the US.

The scholarships were presented during a special lunch at the AAEP's 60th Annual Convention, which took place earlier this month in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Remarking on the event, Molly said that she was "thrilled" to receive the news that she had won the scholarship.

"It was an amazing experience to be able to go to Salt Lake City for the national AAEP Conference to meet other dedicated students and listen to leading veterinarians discuss emerging research and difficult cases .”

The scholarship programme, which is now in its 26th year, awards financial support to veterinary students who are proven leaders at their veterinary schools, academic achievers and advocates for equine welfare.  

Students are nominated for the scholarship by representatives from their institutions, with supporting references from AAEP members and clinical instructors.
