Who Can Apply:
- Addie was a beloved beagle who was found as a puppy on the side of the road at Western Carolina University.
- Addie sadly passed away this year but her memory lives on and exemplifies the bond between dogs and humans. People can learn a lot from their pets, from responsibility to compassion to companionship. Dogs can similarly add value to their owners’ lives, bringing joy and connection throughout good and bad times.
- This scholarship aims to support students whose lives have been touched by their beagle dogs so they can pursue higher education.
- Any high school senior or undergraduate student in North Carolina or South Carolina who has a beagle may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but students going to Western Carolina University are preferred.
