———————————-
It is easy to believe that all pet owners are kind and loving caretakers. Behind closed doors, statistics reveal an alarming story of animal cruelty, abuse, abandonment, and neglect. Many fail to recognize that domestic pet abuse is real and must be stopped. At Tomeny Best, we are committed to serving our community and want to raise awareness and work to make a difference. That is why we are proud to announce our 2023 Furever Home Scholarship.
For this scholarship, we are looking for incoming college students or graduates passionate about making a difference in their communities with compassion for animals in need. We ask applicants to write about ways the community can come together to protect animals and eliminate abusive situations. In your essay, give examples of ways you are personally creating change or what policies could be implemented to help those who are unable to care for their animals properly.
The deadline to apply for this scholarship is February 28, 2023. Once this deadline passes, we will carefully review all applicants, and one student will be selected to receive an award of $1,000.
Eligibility

Application Requirements

For this scholarship, we are asking applicants to write about animal rescue and how we can come together as a community to help save animals in abusive situations or those who are not getting the proper care they deserve.
- The candidate must submit a professional resumé that lists their professional and academic experience.
