"A survey of past scholarship winners indicated that 42% enrolled in graduate school or veterinary college and 67% are involved in swine,” says Chris Hostetler, Animal Science Director for the Pork Checkoff. "Supporting the education of young people is critical to ensuring the next generation of leaders is prepared for all aspects of the pork production chain."
