Scholarship Award Jack Deeley Memorial - Young Pups Initiative
The Jack Deeley Young Pups Award was initiated to encourage young people interested in moving into the dog world professions. The aim is to assist them not only through learning at the conference but also in making contacts with practicing professionals who have the experience to provide advice and help them succeed.
This Memorial fund was established on the death of Martin Deeley’s father, by the Directors of the IACP at that time. Jack Deeley was a man who quietly helped everyone and never asked for anything in return. His thanks were to see the people he assisted succeed and have happy lives. The Young Pups Award will now be given every year to enable an aspiring canine professional to attend the IACP Annual Conference free of charge.
Anyone may make donations to the fund, and our membership renewal forms have a location on the form asking for a voluntary $5 contribution towards this fund. In the future it is intended that the scope of assistance and support to young people within all the dog world professions will increase through this fund.
Currently all advertising for Scholarship entrants is done through the IACP Canine Professional Journal.
The recipient will be given a free admission and lunch to the entire IACP Annual Educational Conference, and up to a $500.00 stipend toward travel arrangements and hotel expenses.
Please note: The recipient must be accompanied at all times by an adult guardian and the accompanying adult expenses are not covered.
