Every year, The American Kennel Club (AKC) provides scholarships totaling up to $135,000. Applicants must be enrolled as full-time students in an accredited veterinary medical school within the United States. Students cannot directly apply for this scholarship; instead, up to four students from each school are nominated each year based on research and activities related to purebred dogs, financial need or academic achievement.
