The American Poultry Association is proud to announce that Elizabeth Wilson and Conner Calloway have been selected as the 2024 recipients of the APA Richard Stevens Scholarship.

Elizabeth, is pursuing a degree in Biomanufacturing. A dedicated 4-H and open poultry show participant, she has achieved great success in the showroom with her Tufted Roman geese and Leghorn and Sumatra chickens.

Conner, is a well-known competitor in the Midwest poultry circuit, will be persuing a degree in Kinesiology. He has distinguished himself in both showmanship and quality of stock, making him a strong ambassador for youth involvement in the poultry fancy.

These scholarships are made possible by the extraordinary generosity of the late Richard Stevens of Virginia. Through his estate, Mr. Stevens ensured that APA members would be supported in their educational journeys for decades to come. His legacy continues to make an impact, with scholarship funds carefully invested to sustain the program for at least thirty years. Over time, the APA hopes to increase either the amount of each award, the number of scholarships given—or both.

Members who wish to honor this legacy and support future scholars are welcome to contribute. Donations can be made by sending a check payable to the American Poultry Association to:

APA Office
P.O. Box 205
Landisville, Pennsylvania 17538
