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, have come from a variety of academic backgrounds: a researcher with a Ph.D. in cell biology and anatomy who also writes and reviews scientific manuscripts; a former Junior with a BFA who has conducted sculpture workshops here and in Europe; a Ph.D. clinical pharmacologist who currently is a consultant in geriatric medicine; a pharmaceutical regulatory affairs professional with a BS in chemistry and advanced certification whose responsibilities include authoring and review of clinical trial and new drug applications.
This committee is pleased to play an active part in the CWCCA's recognition of the value of continuing education through this scholarship program.
