Mary S. Montague Scholarships
There is a limited number of need-based scholarships available. They are granted to those who qualify and in the order these applications are received. Our goal is to give students headed into 3rd through 8th grade the opportunity to learn about the world of animal welfare and career paths such as veterinary medicine, animal care, and age-appropriate Animal Cruelty Investigations despite economic challenges.
