2023 Scholarship Recipient
Andrew Brodie
Andrew Brodie of Salamanca has been awarded a scholarship by the Olean Kennel Club. A graduate of Salamanca High School, Andrew is now attending the SUNY of Fredonia majoring in Biology/Pre Veterinary Medicine.
Andrew has been involved in animal rescue in Almost Home Animal Sanctuary in Little Valley and Empire Animal Rescue (EARS) in Salamanca. Once he finishes his undergraduate studies he plans to go to veterinary school with the aim of starting a practice near his home town in Cattaraugus County.
The Olean Kennel Club has established an annual scholarship program, awarding one local high school student with a $500 scholarship toward their post-secondary pursuit of a degree in the pet healthcare field. We offer this scholarship in memory of our dedicated club members whom we've lost to cancer.
