Information Coming Soon
Submission Deadline: RECEIVED BY (Date To Be Determined)
History of this Scholarship Fund:
In honor one of SCOA's past presidents, funds were solicited from saluki owners to purchase and maintain a trophy honoring Esther Bliss Knapp.
Funds beyond those needed for this were designated as the beginnings of a scholarship fund also in her name. Each year the interest on these funds is awarded to veterinary students and/or students owning salukis. Each student is to submit an essay on a specified topic. The SCOA Board will decide which student(s) essay merits the scholarship for that year.
