Changing the Life of a Rescue Organization Volunteer Is What Nash Academy Aspires to do Here

 

 The John Nash Memorial True Hero Scholarship is the opportunity for one person to train for a career in pet grooming or maybe a second career. Our   commitment to safety and our training style focuses on effectively and compassionately handling animals and we believe the best pet groomers are pet   lovers first and foremost. Rescue organizations and their volunteers share this vision and so it is with great pride that we offer these educational   opportunities to “Be All You Can Be, At Nash Academy” – All for the Love of Dogs!

 Nash Academy is always looking for new ways to make a difference by raising our contribution to rescue groups; the true heroes in our industry and our   world. We love our dogs and we show it! We will award one lucky winner with the chance to make their dreams a reality at the Academy Awards which will   be held Sunday night after the competition in Pittsburgh, PA November 2019.

 Making a Difference

​

 The John Nash Memorial – True Hero Scholarship was introduced in 2014 is awarded specifically to rescue organizations at IJA competition events.   However in 2017, we felt it was time to expand our efforts to the World Dog Expo Rescue Honors program as rescue organizations continue to expand their   efforts in helping and caring for sheltered animals every day. Their time, dedication, compassion and love for animals in an inspiration and truly deserve the   honors that they are receiving at this expo event. 

​

 The John Nash Memorial True Hero Scholarship, is a scholarship to our traditional dog grooming program, and awarded to dedicated and deserving   individual from a rescue organization.

 

 “We recognize rescue groups all over the world need compassionate pet lovers trained to professionally and safely bathe, groom and style dogs to find   homes and we believe Nash Academy can make a difference by our contribution,” says Vivian Nash.

​

 The John Nash Memorial – True Hero Scholarship was actually inspired by a rescue dog named Oscar. The rescue group, Angel’s Rest Animal Sanctuary   shared a photo of a sheltered dog named Oscar who needed to be groomed to be adopted and it was truly inspirational. It touched our hearts at Nash and   we knew we could make a difference by offering the scholarship to a rescue group to award to a dedicated employee/volunteer. Yes, rescue groups are the   true heros when it comes to sheltered pets. They dedicate their time and attention to helping find forever homes to pets in need.
