About
Owning a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have, bringing years of joy and happiness to individuals and families around the world.
Their unconditional love, companionship, and support can truly make a difference in your life. All pets can bring happiness to the lives of their owners, but dogs make especially great companions. 38.4% of households in the US have at least one dog, making dogs the most popular pet.
This scholarship aims to honor our incredible furry friends and their loving owners by awarding one student $500 to put towards their education.
Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who’s a US citizen or permanent legal resident and has been impacted by a dog may apply.
