Waggle Human-Pet Bond Scholarship

We are now accepting applications for the 2025 Waggle Scholarship
Waggle is a pet-focused crowdfunding platform that helps pet guardians raise funds to cover essential veterinary treatment for pets in their care. We believe no pet should be deprived of care because their guardian lacks money. That said, we understand many pet parents are financially strained, especially those enrolled in full-time education.

We created the Waggle Human-Pet Bond Scholarship to help lower the financial strain on college and university students so they have more money available to care for the four-legged friends that emotionally support them in their school endeavors.

Enter to win a $1,000 scholarship award*!
Application deadline: November 1, 2025

Please note, only winners will be contacted. Kindly allow 30 days from date of application deadline.

To be eligible, you must:
reside in the United States or Canada
be enrolled in a full-time college or university program (we reserve the right to request proof of enrollment)
be a pet guardian
not work for Waggle or be related to somebody who does
not be a past Waggle Scholarship recipient
To enter:

Write a 400- to 600- word essay outlining steps pet guardians can take to prepare for a veterinary emergency so they’re not forced to surrender their pet, deprive them of essential care, or worse, have them euthanized due to financial limitations.
Deadline: November 1, 2025
