"I feel there are many equine communication opportunities out there for me to take part in, and I look forward to when I will be able to join the group as a professional in the industry. I am honored to be selected as the 2011 AHP Student Award Winner. The scholarship will help further my education and I hope to repesent AHP as well as previous award winners. Stephanie Smolek, 2011 Student Award Winner
"AHP has an amazing program for students. It is not often that you are able to have all your mentors and role models captive in one room and get to meet the experts in the industry." Stephanie Lynn Church, 1998 Student Award Winner, Editor, The Horse
"The AHP convention is one of the few times members of the equine industry get together in one location, allowing all members to meet industry leaders and expand their knowledge by attending educational sessions. As a student member, I've met valuable contacts at AHP conventions, some of which have led to great opportunities, and I strongly urge all student members to attend next year's seminar in Seattle, Wash. After all, we are the future of the equine industry." Jessica Bieber-Hein, 2003 Student Award Winner
"My favorite seminar was on freelance writing. We had a wonderful discussion including people from all aspects of the industry. We had writers asking and answering questions. The editors explained what they looked for in freelance work and publishers gave advice on being published. I walked out of there excited to begin my freelance career." Melissa Dymock, 2004 Student Award Winner
