The USPOULTRY Foundation awarded a $1,175 student recruiting grant to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) in Georgia. The grant was made possible in part by an endowing USPOULTRY Foundation gift from the Don Dalton Student Recruiting Fund.
The grant funds will be used to raise awareness of the significant expansion of the poultry industry in South Georgia and the correlating opportunities for well-prepared graduates. The recently approved Poultry Science Pathway and middle and high school curricula have resulted in greater interest in the poultry industry and ABAC’s offerings. The funding will also be used to provide additional lab supplies.
