Legacy Fund 

The Legacy Fund supports ASAS programs and initiatives that will leave a legacy for the society and its members. As animal scientists, our mission is to make this world a better place for our families, our friends and the many generations that will come after us.

This fund is dedicated to supporting our highest priorities, including the (new in 2025*) Legacy Scholarships.

Join us in making these Legacy Scholarships possible! Your generosity inspires future leaders of animal science, helping them delve deeper into their research and igniting their passion for our industry. By nurturing the journey of young and aspiring animal scientists, we are creating a ripple effect that will carry our legacy forward. By building a community rich in support and collaboration, we forge connections that affirm and empower them to make meaningful contributions to the field of animal science!

Legacy Scholarship Guidelines

In addition to the Legacy Scholarships, this fund may be used for, but not limited to, additional student travel scholarships, student competitions, graduate student achievement awards, D.C. interns, enhancing and expanding excellence in animal science programming and increasing the number of members recognized for their transformational work in animal science. This fund also supports diversity, equity and inclusion work, Animal Frontiers, supporting the Annual Meeting, and foundation management of these initiatives.
