Thank you for taking the time to apply for the 2025 AACIS Training Scholarship.  For those seeking scholarships to pursue animal welfare and cruelty investigations training, the impact of this education goes far beyond career development—it’s a commitment to compassion, justice, and public service.

This training provides essential skills to identify and respond to animal abuse and neglect, ensuring professionals can act effectively and legally in the field. It also prepares individuals to recognize the link between animal cruelty and other forms of violence, such as domestic abuse, making them key players in early intervention and community safety.

Scholarship recipients gain more than technical knowledge—they become advocates for voiceless animals and trusted protectors in their communities. They help strengthen legal cases, support humane treatment, and raise public awareness about the importance of animal welfare.

By applying for this scholarship, you are choosing a path of meaningful impact. Whether working in law enforcement, shelters, or animal control, your training can help break cycles of violence and promote a safer, more compassionate society.

This scholarship is not just financial support—it’s an investment in your potential to make lasting change for animals and people alike. 

All scholarships will be reviewed by AACIS in two rounds.  The first round will sort the scholarships based on the responses given by the applicants. These applicants will be notified by e-mail and/or telephone that they are moving into the second round of consideration.  

Scholarships can be used for any AACIS-sponsored training class, workshop, seminar, or conference. Scholarships are good for one-year from the date they are issued.
