Animal Behavior College Announces “The Betty White Memorial Zookeeper Assistant Program Scholarship”

Happy Birthday Betty White!

With the saddening news of Betty White’s passing on December 31st, 2021, Animal Behavior College, thought it would be most suitable to dedicate a scholarship in her memory. White dedicated her life to assisting animals in need. While she was extremely passionate about both cats and dogs, she also contributed to the wellness of exotic animals everywhere. In tribute to Ms. White and her never-tiring dedication to pets, both domestic and exotic, Animal Behavior College is pleased to announce their 2nd Annual The Betty White Memorial Zookeeper Assistant Program Scholarship.

Throughout the years, Betty White worked with many animal welfare organizations including the Los Angeles Zoo Commission, The Morris Animal Foundation, African Wildlife Foundation, and Actors and Others for Animals. She was a member of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association since 1974 and served on the association as a Zoo Commissioner for eight years. She received a multitude of accolades for her accomplishments in helping animals. In 1987, Betty White was awarded the Humane Award by the American Veterinary Medical Association for her charitable work with animals. Betty White funded the relocation of otters and penguins from the Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Soon after, she started the Betty White Wildlife Rapid Response Fund following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This helped scientists better understand the spill’s influence on marine life.

Because of her contributions and endless efforts to enhance the well-being of animals everywhere, and in tribute to Betty White’s birthday on January 17th, ABC is offering a scholarship in her name; The Betty White Memorial Zookeeper Assistant Program Scholarship. The Betty White Memorial Zookeeper Assistant Program Scholarship, valued at $1,995 (USD), will be awarded to 1 chosen applicant every year from Animal Behavior College. To apply for the scholarship, all applicants must meet our enrolling student requirements, all scholarship terms and conditions (listed below) and submit a 300–500-word essay.

In your essay submission, applicants are to tell us why you are passionate about exotic animals, what caused you to be interested in working in zoos, and how you can make a difference with your Zookeeper Assistant Certification from ABC. Submission of all essays are due by the deadline of March 31st, 2023 via email to studentsatisfaction@animalbehaviorcollege.com

This scholarship will grant the chosen future student an opportunity to pursue their passion by making a difference in animals’ lives. Working as a Certified Zookeeper Assistant gives you the opportunity to make a difference every day. Our curriculum consists of 10 stages covering a wide variety of topics essential for a zookeeper assistant including zoo biology, zookeeper requirements, animal husbandry, animal behavior, animal housing, recordkeeping, safety, and more. Apply for the scholarship today and start down your own path to help animals and “be more like Betty”.
