The Palm Beach Kennel Club Scholarship Fund helps Florida families connected to the Kennel Club pay for postsecondary study. Scholarship America administers the award for the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties through the CFPBMC Employer Funds common application. Eligible applicants include graduating high school seniors, graduates, GED holders, or current undergraduates who are Florida residents and either work for the Palm Beach Kennel Club with at least one year of continuous service or are a spouse, child, grandchild, niece, or nephew of a qualifying employee. You need a minimum 2.0 GPA, may pursue professional certification, associate, or bachelor''s degrees, and can reapply in future years because the grant is not renewable automatically. The foundation estimates four awards of $2,165 each for undergraduate study. The 2026 cycle opened February 2 and closed March 4 at 5 p.m. EST; expect a similar early-spring window for 2027.

What is the Palm Beach Kennel Club Scholarship?

Palm Beach Kennel Club employees and their families often juggle shift work with college bills. The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties channels employer philanthropy through Scholarship America so one portal covers multiple workplace funds, including this Kennel Club pool.

You need Florida residency, a year of club service or a qualifying family tie, and at least a 2.0 GPA. Awards hover around $2,165 for undergraduates, and you can try again next year because nothing renews automatically.

Mark early March on your calendar, upload a real transcript plus citizenship proof, and nudge your recommender before the student deadline. Browse the live CFPBMC Employer Funds page when status flips to open, and compare other Florida employer-linked awards such as the Anidjar & Levine Community Service Scholarship if you need additional deadlines on your list.
