Continuing Education Tuition Prize

The UKC offers four Continuing Education Tuition Prizes. Each prize will total $2,500 for each of the four highest scoring placements in the Youth National Championship.

Purpose: The purpose of the Continuing Education Tuition Prize is to financially assist active, interested, and capable young hound enthusiasts with the burdening costs of continuing education. The prize amount above will be held in a separate prize money account until the above named
recipient makes application for release of funds.

Payment: Prize money will be paid directly to the school upon written request of the prize recipient. A tuition billing from an accredited college, university or trade/vocational school must accompany the written request. Under no circumstance may a Continuing Education Tuition Prize be transferred to another individual.

Deadline: The Continuing Education Tuition Prize must be redeemed by the recipient’s 21st birthday.

Prize money that has not been used by the recipient’s 21st birthday will revert back to the UKC Youth Fund.
