About

Dogs play an important role in our lives—they are loyal companions that know when we need a little extra love and they support us through life’s ups and downs.

To show our appreciation for these beloved pets and their fans, Dog Central is awarding one dog-loving 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 a dog lover may apply for this scholarship. 

To apply, tell us why you love dogs and how a dog has benefited your life.
