Enhancements to the Emerging Leader Scholarship program have been released. Urban Animal™ sponsors, advocates and alumni are invited to nominate up to two future thought leaders in four separate scholarship categories:

• The Jerry Aschenbrenner Scholarship (2013) enables two future leaders from Animal Control/Services

• The Rolf C. Hagen Scholarship (2014) enables two future leaders from Retail and Commercial Services

Two emerging leaders in each scholarship program are awarded a full delegate package and travel subsidy funded by the Urban Animal Foundation. Scholarships are named to honor those who have brought new thought and practice to the Urban Animal Industry. Emerging Leaders are themselves selected by the advisory panel of the Urban Animal Foundation which features Mentors, Advocates, Sponsors and Alumni of the Urban Animal program.

Scholarship recipients are presented during the Thursday evening Urban Animal Foundation Dinner at the Summit for Urban Animal Strategies in October.
