The CWCCA is pleased to announce opening of the 2012 CWCCA Junior Scholarship Competition. Due to the generosity of the CWCCA membership, the award has been increased to $2000 for 2012!!!
The contest is open to all junior members of the CWCCA (either family or individual) who are graduating seniors with plans to continue their education after high school in any diploma or certificate program.
The applicant must be active in the sport of dogs. Possible activities include, but are not limited to: agility, 4-H, conformation, junior showmanship, obedience, therapy dog work.
The winner will be announced during the annual meeting at the National Specialty. Our judges, all CWCCA members, come from a variety of academic backgrounds (artists, musicians, medical professionals, academics, and attorneys) and as a committee are pleased to play an active part in the CWCCA's recognition of the value of continuing education through this scholarship program.
**** Please note: If, due to extenuating circumstances, the winner will not be attending a post secondary institute in the fall, the award may be delayed until the following January, after which, it will be forfeited.
