Camp Scholarship Application

The Wisconsin Humane Society summer camp scholarship program provides young people in need of financial assistance the opportunity to attend summer camp. We encourage young people of all diverse backgrounds to apply. Interested in camp but not in need of financial assistance to attend? Visit our camp page to register for a paid spot!

Important information about the scholarship program and application process:

📅 Applications must be submitted by April 15 to be considered. Applications received after April 15 will be added to our scholarship waitlist.
⌚ Applicants will be notified via email by May 15 whether they have received a scholarship. Applicants who submit after April 15 will only be notified if a scholarship spot becomes available.
🚙 To qualify for the program, scholarship recipients must commit to attending camp every day of their camp week and have reliable transportation to and from camp.
Please note that scholarships spots are extremely limited and not all applicants will be awarded a spot due to the number of applications received. Scholarships may be limited to one per household based on availability.
A select number of scholarship spots are held for each camp session, however they are awarded in mid-May at which time most paid camp spots will already be full. As such, we cannot guarantee a spot in a camp if your camper is not granted a scholarship. To ensure a spot in a camp, please register for a paid spot if able.
If you need support completing the application or have any questions call 414-431-6153 or email mkatzuba@wihumane.org.
