Animals often go overlooked in our society, suffering abuse, experimentation, neglect, harm to their natural habitats, and more as a result of human activity. There are many different ways to protect animals. From veterinary work to wildlife biology to animal rights advocacy to grooming and beyond, any student is capable of making a difference.
This scholarship aims to support passionate students dedicated to the welfare, health, and conservation of animals.
Any undergraduate student who has demonstrated a commitment to animals and is pursuing a career path that will improve the lives of animals may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about yourself, your interest in animals, your background in animal welfare, and how you hope to help animals in the future.
Please tell us about yourself and your passion for animals. What background, if any, do you have in animal welfare? What are your goals for serving animals in the future?

The winner will be publicly announced on Dec 16, 2026. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
