Assistance is provided based on the applicant’s financial need, academic merit, equine involvement and civic activities.



The Foundation provides scholarships to outstanding members who demonstrate a thirst for knowledge, dedication to excellence and a passion for the American Quarter Horse.

Applicants may download a complete list of the current scholarships available through the Foundation . Carefully read the information to see if you meet the criteria specified.
