Waggle Human-Pet Bond Scholarship Opportunity
2026 Scholarship Now Open for submissions!
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*!
