About Us

At Allied Scholars for Animal Protection, we’re defending both human and nonhuman animals from exploitation.

We support students with a variety of backgrounds and interests, including science, healthcare, policymaking, business, and more!

Everyone can contribute something, whether you are a student, animal advocate, environmentalist, healthcare professional, or engineer!

ASAP focuses on both short term (1 to 5 years) and long term (20 to 30 years) changes.

We mentor the next generation of leaders to ensure that there is a united effort to end animal oppression on campuses across the country.
