- The AKC Humane Fund, Inc. is pleased to announce the John Spurling OBE Scholarship Celebrating the Human-Canine Bond. Five scholarships a year will be awarded to full-time students enrolled in courses of study that advance responsible pet ownership.
The AKC Humane Fund’s mission is to promote the cause of responsible pet ownership. Our newest grant opportunity will provide scholarships for students who are pursuing educational programs that include responsible pet ownership in their curriculum. For example, individuals pursuing studies in veterinary medicine, veterinary technology, physical therapy, animal care, animal behavior, grooming and training may be eligible for this grant. The Fund plans to award five scholarships per year, totaling $10,000 annually, payable as tuition assistance to accredited institutions where students are enrolled in courses of study focusing on the care of pets. By helping to make education in these fields attainable for more students, we hope the result will be better educated owners and an improvement in the lives of pets in the long run.
