Rooted in Equity
Scholarships will be prioritized based on the following considerations to increase access:
Individuals from historically marginalized BIPOC communities (ex: Black, Indigenous, trans, non-binary, queer, or persons with disabilities)
Entry-level staff, direct animal care staff, or those in non-managerial roles in animal welfare
First-time Expo attendees (regardless of your role)
Returning attendees are welcome to apply!
