College Scholarship for Service Dogs and Emotional Support Animals in Therapy

WASHINGTON, August 1, 2018 (Newswire.com) - TheraPetic is excited to announce that we are awarding up to 10 $500 scholarships for young adults, who have been diagnosed with any form of mental illness to help them towards school-related expenses. Applicants must be accepted or actively enrolled in a college, university or trade school. Interested applicants must submit an original 300-500 word essay (1 page) on the topic of How Therapy Has Positively Affected Your Life. The essay should address the hardships of living with a mental health disorder and how therapy has helped with those hardships. The type of therapy could be in the form of talking to a professional on a regular basis or owning a therapy pet, service animal or emotional support animal.

As a nationally recognized healthcare provider, TheraPetic aims to help young adults experiencing stress and anxiety with pressures from coursework, transitioning college/university environment and financial limitations with the annual announcement of a scholarship. We believe in the true value and psychological impact of using therapy animals, like a service dog or an emotional support animal, to treat extreme stress and anxiety. An increasing number of people who suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental health issues find emotional comfort from their pets and service animals.

Application Deadline is Nov. 1, 2018.
