Annual Scholarship

 

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The Yuma Kennel Club offers a scholarship each year to qualified high school seniors who plan to pursue higher education in an animal-related field.  We provide the high schools with applications each year, or you may view the application and instructions here.

Our annual scholarship committee reviews the applications we receive, and may interview students before making a decision.  We usually award a scholarship to only one or two students each year.  You will be notified within about four to six weeks after receipt of your application as to its status. 

The completed application and appropriate documents should be postmarked no later than February 28, 2020 and mailed to:

2009 Scholarship Recipient 


 
Karen Barcklay M.D., 2009 President of the Yuma
Kennel Club (YKC), presents a $1,200 scholarship award
to Kofa High School graduating senior Caitlin LeeAnn
Leonard. Ms. Leonard was admitted to the prestigious
University of Arizona Honors College as an animal science
major. This fall she will begin academic coursework
leading to a goal of becoming a veterinarian. The YKC
expects to continue to offer this scholarship annually to
qualified Yuma County high school graduating seniors who
plan to pursue a career in animal science. The YKC
scholarship goal is to support students who plan to
become veterinarians and return to the Yuma community.
