Introduction
The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) is dedicated to improving how animals are treated across all settings—laboratories, farms, commerce, homes, and in the wild. After seven decades of advocacy on behalf of animals, AWI seeks to extend its impact by supporting the next generation of animal-welfare leaders through the Animal Welfare Institute Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is intended to invest in students who plan to pursue careers that reduce animal suffering and safeguard vulnerable species. Details about eligibility, the application timeline, review process, and awards are provided below.

Eligibility
- Who may apply: U.S. high school seniors.
- Required background: Applicants must show a history of commitment to animal welfare through volunteer activity and/or advocacy.
- Career intent: Applicants should plan to enter a field that will actively reduce human-caused suffering of animals or protect at-risk species.
- Recommendation: A letter of recommendation is required from someone other than a family member who is familiar with the student’s animal-protection efforts.
- Finalist requirement: If named a finalist, the student must provide proof of acceptance to a college or university before scholarship funds are distributed.

Application timeline
- The 2026–27 scholarship cycle opens for applications on November 24.
- Scholarship recipients will be announced by May 1, 2026.

Selection process
An AWI committee will evaluate submissions, selecting candidates who demonstrate a strong record of animal advocacy and a clear, realistic plan for continuing that work. The committee will also review and verify required recommendation letters.

Award details

- Up to 12 students will be awarded scholarships of $3,000 each.
