Hope for the Future Scholarships

HSD donated 1 of our 6-month old puppy program dogs to someone with a disability.

The grand total in scholarships, training, and dogs donated in 2022 is $123,796.

In 2021, one in January and one in April for in person training classes. One online training scholarship has been granted.

In 2020, two scholarships were for in person training classes in November.


Hope Service Dogs, Inc is proud to offer two Hope for the Future Scholarships for service dog education:

  1. Heart & Soul Dog Training’s Service Dog Success - with Victoria Warfel ONLINE school

  2. Heart & Soul Dog Training’s 4-Day Service Dog School - with Victoria Warfel IN PERSON school (not currently scheduled)

Hope Service Dogs grants an online school scholarship for every pup who enrolls in one of our Puppy Programs. This trains 2 dogs, the puppy who stays and another service dog candidate.

One of our 2022 goals is to grant at least 2 in-person school scholarships.

The scholarship must only be used for the school applied for and is not transferable to any future school.

While people with HSD Puppies have priority, we encourage all who are interested to apply.

Our scholarships are for service dog education, they do not provide you with one of our puppies.
